Today. our Majesty the Queen, Margrethe, is eighty years old. Happy birthday and may the Sun always shine on you. So Mote It Be.
All over our country, people were singing and playing their hearts out. So also in this, we are together, only apart. It was very touching, and I sang along with tears of joy running down my cheeks.
Four songs, each known to and loved by us all. And we saw her coming out, not on the balcony, but on stairs.
And she is going to address the Danish nation, tonight at seven p.m. It is so extraordinary, it makes me proud to be a Dane.
That being said, I´m on day two of the gradual re-opening of Denmark. Yesterday, I got so extremely tired of myself.
So today I managed the laundry and went shopping with my husband long before eleven a.m.
My energy is renewed by a longer nap and a good plan about being creative a whole day tomorrow.
The weather is beautiful and warm, and the little, wise, old dog enjoyed his walk a little while ago.
I´m emotional today. It takes nothing before the tears begin. It´s this uncertainty that´s shaking my inner world.
But that´s okay too. Allowing myself to feel with all my senses might seem overwhelming and at times also painful.
I have a whole life to laugh and cry about. And these days, it´s apparently my most emotional side that wants to let go.
Of uncertainty, terrible news, and anxiety combined with depression. And this is my way of doing it. It helps a lot.
Today, I listen to great orchestral music and celebrate my victory over the laundry piles. Believe me, I can feel it in my lower back right now.
But it was worth the effort. I contributed with something tangible and decided to relax and wait with the creative pursuits until tomorrow.
Tonight, we will listen to our Queen and sing along with thousands of others.
May tomorrow be bright and full of creative potential. As I will it, so mote it be.
