I'm BACK! :P

Hi there!

I have been gone.... Because my computer is almost done. It is giving up its ghost so to speak, lol, that is it is almost broken... Too bad, so sad. It has been a good and faithful means and instrument of creativity and inspiration. So sorry. I think I might buy a new one next year or at Christmas sales, when everything is so cheap. Also, my bed broke lol. It will be replaced (probably) by a queen sized soft bed. LOVELY! I can not wait! My Mom is probably giving it to me for Christmas. She is so kind. My old bed is over 23 years old lol. REALLY OLD. It never came with me to Sweden, It stayed in Finland. While I had a few different beds in Sweden. My favorite bed was bough in Sweden. Bigger than this old one. Softer, just perfect. Miss it. It broke too, a few years ago. Thank goodness I have my old bed, and underneath there is a "box bed" and I have been sleeping in it for the past few days, since my bed broke.

In case you are worried, no, I have not gotten Covid or any other dangerous disease. I have had a little flu symptoms now and then but they go by quickly. I am truly happy that I have not gotten sick. It is a great blessing.

Today my "support-person" is coming to visit me, we are going to clean my home and organize things. I am listening to Rix MorronZoo, a Swedish radio morning program. It is lovely. I have listened to it since 2001/2002. I feel like I know some of the radio journalists, I have been listening to their voices for soon 20 years! It is a long time. Thank goodness my native tongue is Swedish, so I can understand this lol...

I am happy. More later!

better late than never

Hi 

Excuse me for my prolonged absence. 

I have been busy. Also, sometimes very addicted to my phone... I'm trying to use my phone less. I love social media and texting friends. I have nonetheless read a lot. 30 books so far this year! That's amazing! My goal is to read 40 books this year. I am 3 books ahead of schedule! Incredible! This has never happened before! 

Music has been very important and comforting, inspiring and very useful. Almost always when I have anxiety, music helps. It's awesome. I have so much favorite music, when people ask me what I like, I'm like lol. I will have to write a little book about how my music taste has evolved. Yes! Excellent idea! 

I have started writing more in my good old journals, it's nice. I have many bullet journals, regular journals, a prayer journal, a gratitude journal and journals in three different languages. Then I have my 10 + blogs! I have a lot of hobbies! Still, I sometimes get anxiety, I don't think there is a reason, I just have depression. 😢 but nowadays I feel a lot better. 

More later! 

Summer In Jakobstad City

Hi there! 

On Thursday I arrived here at my parent's home. We haven't been doing a lot. I have been very tired all the time... but it's okay. I have been reading, watching tv and movies with my parents. Listening to Spotify on my tablet. Napping lol... my medication is being switched up, and it makes me extra tired. 😿 and to make matters even worse, my cats are not with me on this trip. But I will go home on Monday and they will arrive at my home later the same day. I love my cats. 

Tomorrow is Sunday. My friend from down under is calling me at 9 am. He is a very good friend. He knows my parents so he will get the chance to talk with them too. It's going to be fun. Also, at 10.00 am my church ward in Tampere is sending the Sunday worship live via YouTube. We are going to watch it together. It's supposed to be a little rainy tomorrow, so I might stay inside all day...

More later! 

Summertime...

Hi!

Just wanted to drop by and say...

Life is good! I am really happy today. Music lifts my spirits, books make me happy and friends keep me on track. I have so many things to be grateful for. Here are five things I am especially grateful for tonight:

Music

Books

Friends

My Faith

My cats 

In four minutes my Zoom! meeting with my church single people aged 30+ is starting... Gotta go!

TA! 

happiness is...

Hello there!

I am back. With another bit and piece of text, which I really hope will not only be a little piece lol

I have been busy... I have been in a reading slump... I have been active (from home lol)

First of all. Where do I start? Hmm.. Difficult. Tricky lol

The single adults in my church have a group on Facebook (Finland). There I have been inactive and on the sidelines for... Ten years (ish). I have been very reluctant, very reluctant indeed, to participate and be active in the 30+ single group in our church. I have maybe been scared of feeling old, feeling like everyone there is SUPER desperate and/or just very old and/or boring... I was very prejudiced. I was a dork. Of the bad kind. A very influenced person. Influenced by my notions and opinions and expectations. Needless to say, I have now seen the error of my ways. I have "seen the light" if you will. I have had an epiphany... and so on and so fort etc, lol Sooo... I started by attending a few online virtual meetings with these people. They are so awesome! I am SO happy I found them! Soon I found myself attending every virtual meeting online and now I have become a "regular" at the evening discussions, every evening at 9 pm. It is THE BEST! I am so happy. Yeah. That is all.

My reading has suffered from my busy social online life... I have hardly picked up a book in weeks! It is awful. Tonight it will change and once I am ready for bed, I am going to read until I fall asleep. This is a promise.

My life has become something sooo awesome! Thank you COVID-19, thank you Skype and Facebook, Instagram and whatsapp. I love you, dear apps, you are awesome. I am happy. Even my spirituality has soared. Everything has come into sharper focus. I am so happy.

Hello.

Hi.

I don't remember if I have told you about my two new hobbies...

Last Fall I started taking piano lessons! Indeed!
This year I started Finnish sign-language studies! YaY!!

Now that Corona has struck, I'm doing my studies at home. It's almost more fun! Almost... LOL

I have taken a lot of naps, written in my journals and bullet journals, read and listened to audiobooks, watched shows and movies... Today I slept most of the day until 1 p.m. lol That's kinda boring... But it beats having anxiety, which I do tend to have often. When I sleep, I don't feel anxiety. And when I am not sleepy, I don't get depressed. The benefits of napping are great! Honestly.

Today I have been planning in my mind, to blog and write in my journals, maybe organize and clean my library etc. I have about 100+ dolls and 100+ My Little Ponies to put on display. Also I own over 500 books. Sooo... There's enough of thing to do. A lot.

Hello

Hi

I am amazed at the people outside... The park is very busy. It is supposed to be dangerous out there!

Oh, in case you are wondering what I am talking about, it is CORONA, or COVID 19... The Virus.

I have been at home all day every day. On Monday I had to go to the store and yesterday I went to the doctor. Other than that I have been at home. People have awfully short memories! There they are! In the park, doing stuff! :P Well, They may not know it yet but they will have a rude awakening...

The government tells us to self-isolate and avoid social contacts? Finns usually: Stays home. Finns now: "WE GOTTA PACK THE PARK WITH PEOPLE" so... yeah... That is how it goes... Feeling sorry for those children and parents who have no intention of staying one meter from each other...

'Nuff ranting...

I just find it disturbing.

Hmm... Today I have

1. eaten too much chocolate

2. taken a nap

3. read a little

I am ok. Not on top of  the world but not in the depths of despair either...

More later! :)
