Sauna guest house was maybe one of the reasons why we moved to this house. It's funny how little things can influence big things, and make you do big decisions. About two years ago, when we bought this house, we moved straight away to the sauna guest house, because in our main house there was a renovation going on. It seems now funny how we all fitted in the little sauna house. I was then very pregnant, and our first born was only 1,5 years old. We had baby crib, double bed, feeding chair and dresser all in one room. In the shower room we had our clothes and kitchen stuff. In the sauna when it wasn't on, we had our home office. We had lot's of papers there and you could only use wifi on your laptop if you would sit in the highest sauna bench in a certain way. I think we were all a bit stressed out, outside it was freezing cold and the wallet was also seeing cold times. Then I remember I dreamt about the summer, when everything would be ok, and I would serve our guests some homemade apple pie.

| Life is like a flower, take care of it! (oh dear, normally I kill all my flowers) |
Now it seems like it all was ages ago, even though it's been only couple of years. All though the sauna guest house is in ok shape, it hasn't been quite my taste. I've always wanted to paint white, the pine tree colored woods and this summer it finally happend, thanks to my hardworking mother! Now the whole frontroom looks so much bigger.
Recently I have realized that in your life you need to do more things that you enjoy. Even my new years resolution was to do more things that brings joy. I've kept my promise pretty well, but now since half of the year has pasted, it's good to refresh my memory and start doing nice things again. If you want action in your life you have to do it yourself.

| Drums - with two kids, you just have to do sometimes something completely different |
On thing that I enjoy is playing drums. Sami bought me as a 30-years gift a drum set. I have always secretly dreamt about drums, but I never had the space or money to have them. Now for two years - about once a month a drum teacher comes over to teach me how to play drums. In the beginning I had bad conscience, because I never rehearsed. I started making up excuses why I wasn't able to practice. Then I started thinking do I even like playing drums, if I don't even like to practice? But then I realized, even though I like to play, I just don't like to practice and who cares. I play drums just for my own joy (neighbors are not that joyful) and that's it. I'm adult woman and if I want to pay for it that I practice on my drum lesson, so be it. You don't have to benefit from everything, sometimes it's just good to do things without any goals.
