The last week, I was on cloud nine

I didn't remember the feeling of joy, which comes along with a true friend. Not seen in a year, we could still start talking right where the discussion had ended a year ago, how amazing. Life surprises my thoughts the most when I'm not expecting it. Like it did now, again. The movie we watched wasn't a laugh a minute, the drizzle during our walk in Helsinki wasn't that pleasant, and starting to talk Spanish suddenly wasn't a piece of cake for me, but this lesson which life just gave me, wasn't about the ups and downs. It was about living in the moment, I feel like I finally learned it. Even though the sun wasn't shining all the time, I can say that I was happily living every moment with great delight. It's a treasure having a friend from a different country and having a possibility to meet her in my home country. It was a pleasure introducing my culture and seeing the look on her face when she marveled the craze of Finn's when going swimming when the temperature was only a few degrees, the fact that we were actually eating reindeer (and it wasn't a joke of my father), how we open the milk cartons, and also a competition of sitting in a digger in a mall aroused some wondering. I hope she enjoyed her visit as much as I did.
