Stavsnäs, Sweden. Gorgeous morning! Off to work on one of the islands. Not sailing there with that majestic ship, though… maybe next time! 🛳️☀️📷
Awesome aging
Embracing aging can lead to a more joyful and carefree outlook on life, as it fosters curiosity and a deeper understanding of oneself.
Still tinkering with my Micro.blog. The latest experiment: a typewriter/paper-style look for my shorter notes. Might try some special styles for ”Finished reading” posts as well. 🎨
Photo challenge day 25: Decay 📷
It’s the ”Ghost Ship” on Koh Chang in Thailand. The photo is taken before the fire last year that unfortunately destroyed part of the structure.
Micro.blog Rainbow Logo
Add a touch of rainbow magic to your Micro.blog for Pride Month, or keep it sparkling all year. Easy CSS tweak, works with most themes.
True success is daring to fail
Success often comes from embracing failure and the messy journey required to achieve it.
High on low expectations
Lowering our expectations can lead to greater peace and contentment in life, as it helps us embrace its unpredictable nature without tying our happiness to specific outcomes.

Blog Recycling
Desmond Child’s songwriting illustrates how different artists can transform the same creative seed into unique expressions, similar to how blog posts can evolve over time as we grow and gain new perspectives.
I updated the Subscribe page with info on how to subscribe only to long-form posts, so you don’t have to deal with “status posts” flooding your feed reader. I also added a Changelog. ✍️
I’ve updated the Our Blogging Workflow page with several new names. If you have a similar post and would like to be included, just let me know. I’d be happy to add you! 🧑💻

I added a link to the wonderful Places to Read website on my books page. 📚
Love music? Check out the podcast Hemma hos Strage (At Strage’s Place). It’s hosted by Swedish journalist Fredrik Strage, who’s really great at doing interesting, fun, and thoughtful interviews. Some episodes are in Swedish with Swedish artists, but quite a few are in English. Give it a listen! 🎙️
Micro.blog Question Challenge
A while back, Ava kindly invited me to take part in her wonderful initiative, the Bear blog question challenge. You can read my answers here. Now that I’m on a new platform, I thought it would be fun and interesting to do a Micro.blog version of the same challenge. Below are Ava’s original questions, but with Bear swapped out for Micro.blog (and the tags part removed, since MB doesn’t use tags).
Added Bukmark Club and A Webring List to the Blogging Tips & Tools page ✍️
