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! :)

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 ...
