BYU and friends today!

 Good morning dear reader(s)!

Reader, yesterday I visited SLC and met my friend Jared, whom I hadn't seen for 22 years! He served his mission in Sweden. We met in the Single's ward in Stockholm (the ward was called SVEA), where he served with my friend Teppo from Finland. Jared and me used to wash all the dishes after each ward dinner. I have very good memories of out friendship through the years. He is so awesome. We ate at one more noodle in China town... My friend Ellinor (she is my friend from Sweden who I am staying at now) also came with us.

Today I have "transfers" lol. I am going to BYU and seeing some of my friends after a devotional with Neil L Andersen. I saw them last year on their mission. One of them is our "big brother" and the other one is my bonus son. :) I am happy to know them. They went home last year. So nice people. I told them "next year in Utah!" last time I saw them and I thought, honestly, "Not going to happen, too difficult for me to actually make it..." BUT LOOK AT ME NOW! lol

I visited my older friend and his family too, he served in Finland 2000, I think. He has such a lovely family, and I could talk a little politics without being scared of a disagreement. LOL. I loved meeting them. They served a little ice cream: YUM.

The one thing that united us yesterday was music. Jared and Stephen are both prominent musicians.

As you might or might not know, I play the piano. I taught myself when I was 16...

I am happy, as most mornings lol. I need to pack! Transfers, you know...

More later!

Depression in the dark

 Good morninng or whatever time it is when you read this! I hope you're doing well. I have been feeling a lot better than I usually feel in November. I think that my depression hasn't been bothering me for a while now. I am feeling a lot better, especially mentally. My right leg has a neurological damage and my leg is often very painful and I have no pain meds for it, because the pain is in the NERVE, no regular pain medicine can help and I have heard you get very loopy of the nerve pain kind of meds lol. I do NOT want to be loopy! Especially not from a medicine!  I have been feeling a lot more stable and even in my emotional life. I have been at home a lot. My friend Johanna helped me a lot many times when I needed to get around. I use a wheelchair outside my home. Because if I get a pain attack in my leg, I really can't walk and/or stand. Yesterday I had a lot of pain because on Sunday I needed to use my walker a bit at church. The pain came a little late, but it did come...

The Temple again :)

 Good morning dear reader(z), That Z only or mostly makes sense to those who have seen my "Cinderella monster" -alter ego videos made with snapchat! ha ha ha! At the end of each video I say: Hugzzz and kisezzz! lol. Yeah, I am weird. But so is my alter ego "The Cinderella monster"... Yesterday I visited the Temple again! This time I went to the Mount Timpanogos Temple. I really like it too. I mean, which Temple wouldn't I love?!? lol. They are all a little different but they are all equally beautiful, each in their own way... Like people!  On Friday I got the opportunity to go to BYU campus. I walked around (without my walker, mind you) over 3000 steps! Wau. I had the walker for over FIVE YEARS. Now I am done with it! :) I am SO happy! This trip has kind of transformed me! I am just a lot happier here. The sun is shining, the people are smiling and it's warm!  I so want to come visit soon again! :) I have visited two temples so far. Hopefully another one nex...

A slice of my life blog post :)

 Good afternoon from the cold and distant but friendly country of mine: Finland! 😊 Recently I have really been enjoying my life. I know, life is not easy, nor is it supposed to be easy, but it being easy doesn't mean it cannot be enjoyed. If you know what I mean... From time to time I have problems with my mental health, physical health, emotions and feelings. Here are a few things I have really been enjoying lately: - My faith in God and getting stronger in faith. - My mental health improving significantly and becoming happier. - My beloved friends and family, my bonus family and my new friends online and irl. - My political party and the things I can do to help them there. - My own courage increasing, my self-confidence becoming stronger and my understanding expanding. - All the good things I can do (small things) that make the world a little better place. I have had seasons of great depression, worry, anxiety even. I can feel really good in the morning and feel really bad and s...
