    Even though I am retired and we are in the midst of Covid-19, I still follow the guidelines for being productive in my day. Dressing, personal hygiene, doing daily chores, etc also helps to make you feel good about yourself as a person. I can't move to Sweden or to a small village, but I get outside in my yard, and make my home as stress free as possible.

Or be independently wealthy and able to purchase you home and not work. I will have to look closer at Sweden. I used to be pretty proud to be American but not in the last 20 years.

    Hiding behind perfection is so true. Recently I had to restart my home business because we moved country... from a big port city in Croatia to German countryside in Hessen. As much as this is so inspiring, I keep getting side-tracked with completely irrelevant details, thinking that it won't be good enough. Hopefully I can find a way to surpass this.

I work 5 nights during the week. And every other weekend.i moved from 2 areas to less than a area so I'm trying to rebuild my gardens. I'm living in a old house which is a challenge but one i enjoy. I'd like to be more self contained so as fall is coming here in North Carolina I'm getting ready for colder weather I have to put in a woodstove and have my roof retooled. So my time spent with you is refreshing thank you.

I absolutely love the tradition that seemingly began when kaffi was outlawed for a time. My great-grandmother would always have a stovetop pot of coffee brewing which I call "cowboy" coffee. It was made very dark and she would have hers after eating a spoonful of sugar first. It went perfectly well with her icebox cookies. Now I understand better her love for kaffi. Because of this I am learning more about making excellent coffee and reveling in the simplicity & complexity. I hope to see more content soon. I'll be watching for you! Lisa

    I moved to Sweden 3 months ago and live in Luleå now, but it would be a dream to have a house somewhere in the north near mountains! Great video, Juliia :)
