Carpe Diem

No, I do not have a carpal tunnel-syndrome. It is the carpal tunnel of the wrist that causes problems in people who write a lot. My tunnel is doing perfectly well right now, and I will only start worrying about it if I become a student again (which is actually part of my plan).

"Carpe Diem" is what I tell myself (and others) when I am going to seize the moment. Thinking back in my life, I have rarely spent much time pondering about the pros and cons. The bigger the decision, the less I ponder (so no logic there...) For example, when I met my husband, I knew I had to seize him quickly, or else somebody else would. And the list goes on. The best decisions I have ever made are those I have done fast and fearlessly by trusting God that things will turn out just fine.

About a month ago things really started moving. First, my mom suggested that she could look after Annikki should I need more time to read for my entry exam. Carpe diem-I booked a flight and here I am reading day and night (should I not pass it is because I fell asleep during the test). Then my dad told me about an interesting job advertisement he had seen in Hesari. Carpe diem-I contacted the company and will be signing a contract next week. In order to be able to start work in August, Annikki obviously needs full time care. I called several daycare centers and when I heard lthat the chances of getting a spot this soon are close to zero, I said "Carpe diem"-I am going to send her to school instead! She will start in the Kindergarten-group of the International School in Helsinki! I am jumping with joy!
