One of my new year’s resolutions for 2009 was to start a blog for my book in progress about my life in Stockholm. I’ve been procrastinating for some time now about doing this as I was just a  bit intimidated by the prospect of creating a blog–surely it was too technical for me to figure out? But thanks to lots of prodding from Nici and Robert and some resources in how to starting a blog online, I did it. And I have to say that it was not nearly so bad as I thought it would be. So here it is. I look forward to hearing your comments.

I am excited to begin the journey. And I am pleased that this is not too bad of a start for 2009 as it’s only January 5th!

Since I moved from the United States to Europe in 2002, I relate very well to the daily frustrations of living in a foreign country. The way Sandra expresses her day to day life – from simple daily tasking that seems like going to the moon to taking full advantage of traveling afar – makes me a hooked reader.
Lyka till med din boka! I look forward to devouring “Finding lagom” page by page. Jatte fun!
