Light the world! :)

 Good afternoon from Jakobstad! 

Happy Christmas time! :) I hope whoever reads this, will be happy and feel joy and keep on going no matter what is thrown at them. I believe you can do it! I believe everyone can endure through all the difficulties in their lives. In Finland we have this thing called SISU. Google it...

I am happy today. I have napped a lot and my parents are still napping. The missionaries in this ward are coming to visit us tonight and brining us the sacrament and my parents will meet the new elder here in this ward. He is from Washington state and he knows some of my best missionary friends. :) I love meeting new people who know my people lol.

Yesterday we had the Jakobstad's ward Christmas party. It was fun.

Today I was too tired to go to church.

My dad is really sick and we take care of him with my mom 24/7. 

My cats are doing well, they love visiting my parents, their grandparents... lol. They love snuggling with my mom and they love her when she gives them treats. My cats are 13 years old and doing pretty well. They are happy but a little tired, so they sleep most of the time.

I haven't done anything that existing or new recently. I went to the library with my aunt on Wednesday, I borrowed four books, all recommended by the librarian. They seem interesting and one I have read previously... But I borrowed it anyway, because I like it so much.

Soon I will go wake up my mom and ask her if she wants to get up :)

In the church, we are often asked to light the world during Christmas and I think like we should try to do it  continually. No matter the time of year or season. I am often quite happy and smiling, positive and grateful. We always try to be nice I think, I don't think anyone would choose to be cross and grumpy. Well, there might be exceptions. At least in literature: 

"A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. 

I have read it maybe once or twice. I really liked it. If you are feeling like a "Scrooge" in your life, try to be a bit more cheerful. LOL. Easy for me to say... I think my mood is just usually most often happy and cheerful. I don't know why. Could be the anti depressants I have in my system hahhah! :D Good one, Cindy! LOL: No, but all jokes aside, I do have had depression and anxiety for most of my life. It has been a lot better lately. My medication is in good balance. I am happy about that. So, it's going well. I don't have any huge problems mentally right now. It is a blessing.

I have many good friends and they are really nice. 

Most of my friends live in these three locations:

Tammerfors

Jakohstad

Provo (Utah)

Those are my three important places. I could live in any one of them, basically...

Let's not get into the elections in the USA or any other political stuff, thank you! 

BYE! :)

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...
