Life lately
Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying this February with loved ones <3 My life has been very hectic lately with my studies, work etc. Also Jarkko and I had a really bad flu that lasted over a week. We had low fever for days and stuffed nostrils, and the tiredness with all the brain fog was intense. I’m only now feeling more like myself again. That is why it has been so quiet in here.
There is another thing also keeping us busy now - we are getting married next month! So, a lot is going on with planning details, getting all the stuff and making everything ready. Last Saturday I had my dear friend over and we made piles of biscuits for the wedding. We also went shopping and bought my wedding shoes and jewelry.
In the middle of everything that is going on, my heart and soul just waits for a quieter time where I can give all the space and thoughts to creativity again. For a time where I can mainly concentrate on creating art and this blog and just go out in the nature and enjoy every bit of it.
There are times in life when you just need to go from one thing to another, like a list where you put a cross over the things you have done and look at all the things you still need to do. If that goes on for too long, you start to work like an autopilot and nothing feels like anything anymore. Like a robot or a machine. I’ve been feeling a bit like that lately and I believe I will feel like that for some time still, when there is a lot of things to be done.
Last Sunday I just wanted a brake from everything and Jarkko and I went outside for a long walk. There was a cute outdoors café (we would say “kota” in finnish) in the port of Jyväskylä and we took hot chocolates there and sat by the fire for a while. We stood in the sun feeling it’s warmth on our faces for the first time. A promise of a spring to come, and summer to follow.
Because of this busy season in our lives, I’m not sure how frequently I can write in here or if I will have that time for being creative, but I promise I will make a big post or even posts about the wedding next month. After that I also believe that our everyday life will calm down a bit and I will have more time for you guys!
I wish you all the best and hope you enjoy these winter days that are getting more light from the sun every day!
