How we start to like new music...

Hi there!

Sorry, that I haven't written in many, many months...

Today I got a package from my dear musician friend: The Jonna. We have known each other many years and she helped me once when I was really in trouble. Thank you, Jonna!

She sent me her new album. As soon as I could, I put it in the CD-player and listened to it two times through. I have a theory of how we find new favorite songs. It was like when I was a teenager and always listened a few times through Céline Dion's and Mariah Carey's CD's when I got hold of them, and became familiar with the sounds and words. Then, within a few hours/days, I would find my absolute favorites. It took a while to take it all in. I haven't bought many new CD's these past few years but I do still love them. Plus my stereo has the best sound.

This new album from Jonna is called "Sound Mind". It's a very good, almost like a soundtrack to my life right now. These words move me and they are very well written. I'm so proud of you, Jonna.My favorites so far are: "Still breathng" and "Smile". Also "Wedding Night" touched my heart in a special way.

I need to go to the store and buy all of Jonna's albums. I almost always listen to her music on Spotify.

Thank you, Jonna!
Love, Cindy

Awakenings Thursday - Friday, 17th to 18th of December 2014

Hey!

Tonight I watched an amazing movie, called "Awakenings". It made me appreciate life so much more. There was a time in my life when I lived in a mental hospital for 8 months. It was in 1997-1998 when I was 17. My dad always says that I always talk about my time in the mental institution as it was some kind of army. Well, in some ways it was.

Here's a part of my history.

I was bullied in school. From the first time I stepped in class and ten years on. The only reason they stopped bullying me was that after the last summer I suffered from a psychosis. I was 17 and served a mini mission for the church. I have later come to an understanding that both having been bullied for ten years and the mini mission contributed to my break down.

In the hospital I suffered from both mental illness and from side effects from the many different types of medicines they gave me. I gained 30 kilos in the hospital. I suffered from extra pyramidal syndrome. That is where "Awakenings" steps in. I had many of the problems and symptoms that the patients in the story also had. Of course it was based on a real story.

More later!

He Is The Gift

Hello! :P

Hi there!

I'm BAAACK!!! :P

Today is the first of December. Duh! So, I have three calenders, one with Finnish Salmiakki, two with chocolate :) They are nice. My cats were so exited when I got my new computer table (for use on the floor, in bed etc.) and the box it came in! They do not care what's in the box, the BOX is the gift ;) My cats circled around the box, tried to scratch their way into it (it's rectangular and MUCH too small) and played with the plastic that had been around it. Cats are precious. FYI: I only have two cats, I'm not (YET) a crazy cat-lady ;)

More later!!! :)

Hello hello hello!

Hi.

There has been a long depression for me these last few years. I'm just getting out of it, but there are days when I get really down. Sometimes I just feel like nothing is fun, that I don't want to do anything. So, today I decided to blog :) And it's already helping. Yesterday I wrote in three different journals of mine. In one seven pages, in the two others four pages per journal. Now my cat Brianna is trying to help me. LoL. She is right here next to my tablet.  :) Today I woke up at 14.00. That is part of my illnesses.

More later.

Hello there, dear! :P

Hey!

Hi! Sorry etc. that I haven't been very active and not updating this blog for a looong time! I am most truly sorry :'( I love you though, dear readers, always checking up on me, or at least sometimes checking up on me... Thanks!

Now my cat Bisse is jealous of me using my laptop, he lies close to my left arm and hand and licks my hand... He is funny! And I looove him and his sister, Brianna, whom is currently somewhere in my apartment, her whereabouts are unknown... :P LoL ... My dishwasher is going "fumph, fumph" my comupet is going "rittidittidii", like there is some disturbance in the net (like when you call someone on the cellphone next to a cd-player that's playing or near speakers :P)

I'm a funny person, I know. I'm funny in a weird way and weird in a funny way :P LoL...

AND! I almost forgot!!! I'm most probably getting a DOG in February.

Now Bisse started licking my hand again---

Good night!!! :)

My Stephen King poem for the SKL contents :)

My Stephen King

There once was a great man,
Who wrote better than anyone ever can.
I'm so grateful he started writing, 
His books are the silver lining,
That helps me feel good,
And keeps me waiting for the next book.

When I was but a teen
I first discovered his incredible gift,
Pet Sematary, you gave me such a lift.

Thanks, Mr. King.
