Studying and learning
Learning new skills is so fun! I can still remember that feeling, when I realized how letters build up words, and words build up sentences. How wonderful it was to swim and float on the surface of the lake. In my later years I’ve noticed how easily we take knowledge and studying for granted. It’s…

Vision and reality
Every day I spend few moments after waking visioning my day to be. I consider all those things that I must do on that day. I think about things scheduled for that specific week. Finally I vision the free time after everything is accomplished. And it never happens in the way I envisioned it. My…

Self-image in speaking
Are you one of those people, who avoid attention? Shy and quiet, and missing conversations because of so loud inner voices? You’re not the only one. I’ve been working on it for decades, and finally seen major improvement. You see, I had speech disorder. I was able to pronounce k and g only after 8…

Ups and downs, ends and beginnings
Today is an important milestone in our family. The youngest of my children graduated from the 9th grade and in next autumn will start in a new school and in a new city. It brings me memories of me at the same age. I had no other idea but high school and all the details…

Voices, inside and outside
This morning didn’t begin strongly. Not enough of sleep, yesterday’s work in muscles, headache and restless feeling inside. Millions of things in the to-do list and absolutely no strenght to do them.

Sunshine
Hurray!!! The sun is here. For those who don’t live so close to arctic circle may wonder why it’s news. But I can tell that it makes a huge difference. I have described our winter as a giant freezer and somebody even switched the lights off. There’s only about 6 hours of daylight, cold, snow…

Dreams do come true
Last four months have been full of learning new, planning the future, finding out about possibilities and determining what I will be when I’m adult. I’m not sure if I will ever be fully grown, but it’s not so important after all. I had dreams when teenager, then I lost those dreams into surviving mode,…

Maintaining balance
I had a day when my balance was off. Day started slowly, as there was no set schedule there, and many things just needed attention. I went to the working place, and all the small details took so long. In the early evening I wanted to see the view from our famous “mountain” Koli, and…

Botania
I had such a lovely day in the city! It turned out to be my day off, relaxing day. First I went to public library of Joensuu, and took some pictures there, and after that I visited Botania, former botanic garden, that nowadays is more about cultural site. There have been several visual exhibitions, and…
