Difficulties and health problems along the path of life

 Dear reader,

Today there is no rant. There might be some opinions about difficulties in life, but I will try to look on the bright side. Just facts, happy talk and hope to become better. I am over the negative stuff and I feel like I need to get over a lot of the grudges I have been holding against some people and let go of the resentment, let it go and become a better woman. Holding onto a grudge doesn't help me. It has been making my life  really sad and pathetic.

First of all, my dad is in the final stages of his life. There is a lot of health problems he is suffering from and they are taking their toll. My dad used to go for long distance walks most of his life. He never did just sit in front of the TV all day or such. I loved going on walks with him and these past few years his knees has been getting worse, they have done their part, so to speak. I am sad and worried for the end of my dad's life. He is 1/3 of our family unit! We only got FATHER MOTHER CHILD, in our family. Of course the cats are the furry grandchildren. (Plus the missionaries who have been varying family members like big brother, grandson, daughter etc.)  They have helped me so much. Every time I have needed support, I have wanted to help them and make their work easier and more pleasant. I always have felt good helping them, it has helped me too. And of course they have also just helped me a lot. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH MISSIONARIES! 

(I don't think the ones still serving here can read this blog yet, but maybe someday.)

So. My dad's deteriorating health is one of the issues in my life. One of the other issues is that some of the missionaries have been angry with me and it has been a mess. No one knows who said what to whom. I hope it will get better soon, because my life situation rn doesn't need more drama, especially from people I usually have been able to trust and lean on from time to time.

ANYWAYS...

My health has also gotten a lil bit worse. My right leg has a damaged nerve and it is causing a lot of pain, there are some "pain attacks" a few times a day. If it's a good day, maybe once or twice. I went to a testing and the doctor put electric shocks in my legs, and also some long needles that tested my nerves, I don't know but it HURTS! My doctor said that she gives me her "blessing" to use the wheelchair outside and I need a friend to push me around. Because I am heavy (even though I have released approximately 40 pounds, 20 kg) and there are a lot of hills and bumps around in my city. This is not in any way a flat country lol :D

I also have a fatigue that never lets go. When I am tired I get sad and sometimes I get anxiety. A lot less frequently though. But the fatigue never lets go of its hold on me... It is kinda weird, but when I lost the huge amount of weight recently, I have gotten a lot more energy.

My mom has been really tired and worn out. She is the nurse for my dad at home.

Now I have told you enough for today. If you are a returned missionary sister or elder, who has served in Finland and you are reading this, I wish you all the best and I will try to figure out a possibility to come visit Utah again next year and we will have another reunion. :) thank you.

BYEEE!!! :D

My trip to the USA 2024.. The adventure starts!

 Good morning everybody! Greetings from Pleasant Grove, Utah. I arrived on Tuesday the 13th of August to the SLC international airport, a little before 1 pm (the flight was early...). I traveled together with the returning missionaries. It was so nice!  I was really tired but I haven't been so tired that I thought I would be. My medicine helps me get my sleep patterns stable and regular. I have been walking a lot and it hurts in the evenings when I have spent a long time walking around. But it's ok. I think I have lost a little more weight, it's so much easier to get around! What a big blessing. A few months I was still in a wheelchair when I went outside! WOW. It is a miracle! :) I took a little break in writing. Hope you don't mind hahhah!  This country is very interesting! :) stores and such have so different "infrastructure", I don't know if that's the right word... And a town or city is not separate or like far from each other. You just kinda swoo...

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...

unrelated opinions and observations of my life and love.

 Hello!  SO. I have been having a wonderful time here in Utah, with and without some or most of my friends here. Some of them haven't made it here yet, because school starts for them soon. I am happy to have been spending time with my hosts, other friends and new acquaintances. I don't think I am that upset about all the other people ignoring my messages. That's how it goes sometimes. Someday I would love to be surprised by something nice that would happen, like friendship and relationship-wise. But it's ok. I am not in a hurry. About that. I am sorry to say but so many of my "friends" in Finland have bullied me and put me down for basically all my life. Some maybe out of jealousy, some people are just vicious, it seems... The phrase: "You will get a husband in Heaven" and it many iterations have been prevalent. I have been brainwashed to believe I am worthless. By my so-called "best friends". I mean, they are mostly all married and have a ...
