Again, I find myself in Stockholm for the holidays. A beautiful white Christmas and nice times with my family.  I love Ice-skating and cross-country skiing in Stockholm, and seeing all the shoppers out at the big sales. It is so slippery outside that I had to buy the spikes that attach to my shoes like rubber galoshes.

It was another big travel year. Since the trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo this summer, this Ravinder body has also been to Greece, Sweden and Lithuania, California, then again to Sweden followed by New Hampshire.  Also Washington DC and Boulder Colorado.  I again have the flygskam, which is the word Swedes have for feeling guilty for contributing to climate change via flying too much. 

I am uploading some photos from 2023. Again, I am grateful for this wonderful life and all the opportunities and experiences that I have every day. 

I wish everyone much joy. We all have conflicts to endure, and it is part of human nature, but so is reflection and acceptance. In the end our goal is kindness and compassion to everything alive on this planet. 

Wishing anyone who reads this a wonderful Happy New Year 2024!
