I lost my homemade advents calender ☹️😢 Therefor I have to post the 20th on the end of the 21st…
Psalm 98:1
OH, sing to the Lord a new song! For HE has done marvelos things
To dare to sing to the Lord, to try to sing, whatever or however it sounds, just do it. Because that’s what it says. HE our heavenly Father will do marvelos things!
Believe and have faith.
Try and don’t care what other people think of your voice.
Sing to God not to people.
Be proud of your voice.
/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.
For who is God except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?
Psalm 18:31
This is good questions! Important questions. Where in your Faith are you standing? Are you taking your faith for granted or are you updating your faith now and then?
Who is your rock? Do you know that? Or are you asking the questions to your self? Where do you want to be? Do you have a goal?
I know my rock. I know what I believe. For me isn’t this a question, for me is God my Lord and my rock.
/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.
Psalm 33:1-5
REJOICE in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.
Praise the Lord with the hatp: Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
For the worf of the Lord is right. And all His work is done in truth.
He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.

An other day of a lot I did…
Met my shoe doctor, got my new “Winter shoes”, took the train to the course I_m in (to get back to work). Was walking and eating in negative 8°C.
Sat down inside, searching for jobs btw 10am – 12:30pm, had lunch, catched the tram home forty min later. Got Home, switched shoes, socks and out again.
To meet a girl-friend and do dine xmas shopping and catch-up over a good strong coffee/chai latte.
Back home around 5:30pm completely exhausted. Tired brain and body! I did not do much but I did take both my cats out for a walk, which isn’t normal!
Here is Silver 🐈 boy exploring the snow ❄️ for the very first time. .
And, here is the verse of Friday the 14th;
Proverbs 13:14
The law of the wice is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death.
/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.
This Day startet earlier then all other days. I had an interview 0800 am. Had an americano and a safron bun at a coffee place for breakfast,
07:48 am startet I to walk towords the school for the interview.
Rush back to the School I have my internship / work at.
Was thinking I have to remember to blog this evening.
In all this, the 13th of December is the Day we celebrate the Lucia day. Lucia stands for lighting up the dark Winter.
Came Home normal time. Got my second coffee, started to vacuum clean, made dinner, fed the cats and on my way to the bed I saw my advents calender thinking, I am not awake anymore I just need to sleep and did not blog.
So here is the verse from the 13ths.
Proverbs 10:29
The way of the Lord is strength for the upright, But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.
/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.
Sorry,
These last days have been crazy and gone in one, so I post three today. Sorry about this.
Verse of the 12th;
Proverbs 12:17

Good Words! This verse reminds us of how important it is to listen to God’s voice. And follow his will what he wants us to say, speak, do when He call on us.
/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.
As you seen I like to have different backgrounds of “today’s verse”. Today it’s needles 📍📍📍 because I am working with a zipper.
When you walk your steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble.
It is so good to know that when I run ny steps wont be hindered 😊 or stumble. God is watching our steps no matter running or just walking. 😊
/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.
Sorry that the verse of 10th of December coming today the 11th. I was a bit to tired and honnestly, I forgot.
Proverbs 4:5b
Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
A good reminder to us all.
/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.
Today’s verse comes from Proverbs 10:23
The verse says it all. When God is blessing us He do it rich!
My experience is that a blessing is never small. It’s always the right type and enough when it comes.
/Mia-Simone.Svenberg
It’s white outside and bread baking view inside.
Today’s verse comes from Proverbs 8:35
For whoever finds me finds life. And obatains favor from the Lord.
…for whoever finds me ‘gains mercy’ with the Lord. …an other translation of ‘obtains favor’.
To gain mercy with the lord, is for me kind of big.
Just think about it.
As His child you gain mercy when you find Him. You have to say you want to follow Him, to keep a relationship with Him. And with that you are His child.
WOW!
/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.

My daily life is based on prayers. I pray on my way out to the bus, at work for my co-workers and students. I pray in the TV commercial for friends, I pray on the bus or train.
I read the daily vers from my bibleapp each morning before I get out of bed.
I pray for the Day and trusting on the word that I will recieve peace, love and patience for my students.
I believe my heavenly Father will fill me up when I am getting empthy.
I let the holy spirit in to guide me and fill me with the good things I need.
I am thankful for every Day that goes by, because I know it is not by my strength. I live because I trust my life in Him.
/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.
Life goes on whatever you do in life that is fact. We do all have day’s when we have more or less things to do. We all have day’s when we do not want to do a tiny thing but we have to because we have a job or family we can not just delete. But the feeling are there.
We have day’s when we want to be more social then other day’s or when we actully are spontanious social because we met someone we have not seen in a long while.
Those day’s are life. They are there.
Do I have this life? Yes! Am I happy every day? No, but I can try to be positiv. Positiv for friends, co-workers and family or neighbors.
I went to church today and there did the pastor talk about our daily life and challenges God askes us to do for him. One of them I reflected pver was “do we see our neighbors need for things in their daily life?” Are we a part of anything they need help with? What can we do practicly for them? How do we get to know our neighbors if we do not know them?
I am lucky to know most of my neighbors where I live, because I needed to get to know them few years ago. I am blessed to live where I live. I have not earned it but God have given me that.
Have you thought about why you are living where you are living? Are you blessed where you live? Cam you get to know your neighbors? Daily thoughts in life.
/Mia-Simone.Svenberg
It’s Easter. A Holiday most people rest from work. Doing things they might have time to or travels away or catch up with friends or family.
I wanted to try to go to a Church that hold this special Easter services. I didn’t make it because of my body but I have been able to rest and talk to God, catch up with a close friend and been to the gym. 😉
I have had a tradition to watch The Passion Of The Christ for many years on the Wednesday or Easter Thursday. This year I did not. Not that I needed a break from the movie. No, more of I wanted to enjoy and see how Easter could be without that movie. This year I watch War Room a film about seek God, fight the bad, pray, listen, trust. Something we all need for a daily life.
God has spoken to me in other ways than normal, not just during Easter also before. I have got a new Thankfulness towards God. I can’t put it in words I just smile. I’m Happy in an other way.
This is about faith. To trust the God I know. To listen to what he has to say to me. To take time. To be. To pray where it works for me. In an environment where I can seek God.
I know it’s different for everyone. You need to find your place. Mine is in the nature or on my walk to work.
Let God into your life and see what happend.

God has humor!
I thought I just said yes to a random Couchsurfer for this weekend, but he showed me wrong. He sended a girl who needed to here some of my life experience and about my path with God to see positive on her adventure here in Norway.
She came more then less directly from her brothers Wedding on Friday in Polen to me in Oslo on Saturday (yesterday). Tied and only wanted to rest which she did. 😉
We had many good conversations about life, faith and how to see what and when God is talking. 😊 We watched tve movie War Room (which I think everyone should see no matter what you believe.) It has humor, lots of things to learn if life and if you are a believer, many good advice of how to grow with God. She told me after the movie that she needed to watch it, that it was good for her. So glad I were to hear that.
Grace was the word that we talked a lot about those hours she stayed with me and how grace can be a part if our life in different situations of life. How God has showed me grace in all kind of life-situation and how God has provide me with what I need or how God have closed or open doors in my life when I trust God. How she can trust God. How to push emotions aside when the emotions turns into fear instead of the oppisite – happiness or peace in the specific situation there and then. When we come with high expections from what God can do, he do provide our life just the He lnows we need it.
Grace, love, trust and faith is some of the things he has given us to have in our relationship with him.

Station your Life.
I have not been able to go to church for weeks or months because of work and body. But last Sunday the 23rd of July I did go. And I did not just enjoyed the worship I also liked the preaching. It was like God wanted to remind me of important things about life.
The headline was: Receiving Guidance from God.
The important W’s…coming below.
Three ways to tune-in to God;
1, I must realize that God cares about the details of my life. Matthew 6:31-32. To tune-in to God. 2, Ask God a specific question. James 1:5a 3, Believe HE wants to Answer. Pray with exceptions to God. James 1:5b-6.
How to receive Guidance from God;
The first W; WITHDRAW. Get alone in a quite place. Focus on God.
Habakkuk 2:1. “I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected.”
This is something I have a hard time with. To have it quite around me… I like to have music around me. It’s easier for me to focus with sounds (even when I write a blog I need music to focus). So how will I do this?But I have found a time in my life when it’s more then less quite, and that is when I am out walking my cat. Then I talk to God, asking God for advice and telling Him how I think about things in my life. I guess God knows me that well that he uses me when I am surrounded by people in prayer, because that is my best “quite time”.
The second W; WAIT. Calm your thoughts and emotions. To be quiet. To station your life = don’t move. Good have make you good!
Sometimes it’s so hard to wait! To wait on answers, on God to make a move, to let Him take control. But it’s worth it. My time isn’t God’s time and that means that he do answer when he knows I am ready to hear what he has provide for me. I have learn that it is worth waiting on the answer after I have asked God for a specific thing. I also know that I can ask God for whatever I want. But it doesn’t mean he will answer everything I ask for. I call that faith to trust God, that he really do knows what I need.
The third W; WATCH. Let God give you a picture.
Habakkuk 2:1. “I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected.”
Ephesians 1:18. “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints”
Hebrews 5:14. “But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their Senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
God is using my creative brain in many ways. One way is by giving me pictures when I pray for others. He has done that since the Day an other person prayed for me. But watch is also about how to let God in to your brain and let him be apart of your prayers in a visual way. Like, if you are in focus with God in your prayers God will use your brain if you let him. HE wants us to watch and write done what we receive from him.
The fourth W; Write. Record the ideas you’re receive.
Habakkuk2:2. “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.”
Benefits of write is… A)Keep you focus on God. B) Allows you what you said to God and what God said to you. C) Not every IDEAS is from the Lord.
When the woman who were preaching said this, and I thought this fit me. I write, a blog, that I feel I have got as a gift from God to do. And it was also like an answer from God and he gave me this line; “I want you to write more. More about your faith on me.” Which is what I at least do know.The woman who preached also said “always bring a journal with you so you can write down what God is telling you”. Nearly wherever I go I have this small notice-block with me if God is speaking to me or giving something to me. We should all have a notice-block with us. I also have a notice-block on my smart-phone, and I just have to say Thank you God for Apps !! Some of them are SO good!! 🙂
I do keep my focus on God and asking God what to write about in life. Out of experience I’ve learn the hard way that not every idea is from God but in my life many are! To write allows me to both remember what I said to God and to hear his voice.
The fifth W; WORSHIP. Thank God for speaking to you.
Habakkuk 3:2. “O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid; O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.”
Through your relationship with God, God will fill you. Believe in God. Became friend with God.
For me is Worship the Holy part of connecting with God and listen to what and if He has something to tell me, greetings to someone else or maybe a picture that says more then words. It’s my way to «Catch-up» with God. To sing out my prayers in the worship. To honer Him, He who is my Father. To be in his atmosphere and just enjoy and receive grace and love from Him. I always ask God to use me if He want or need me to give someone else a picture or a greeting, in the worship, because I know He hears my willingness to be used by Him.
We ended the preaching with this song; “You are a good, good father.” And the words in this song is powerful.
Good Good Father by Chris Tomlin. Good good Father
I’ve heard a thousand stories of what they think you’re like
But I’ve heard the tender whispers of love in the dead of night
And you tell me that you’re pleased
And that I’m never alone
You’re a good good father
It’s who you are, it’s who you are, it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you
It’s who I am, it’s who I am, it’s who I am
I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide
But I know we’re all searching
For answers only you provide
‘Cause you know just what we need
Before we say a word
You’re a good good father
It’s who you are, it’s who you are, it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you
It’s who I am, it’s who I am, it’s who I am
Because you are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us
You are…

I google those to get inspiration to tattoo’s and I think I have found tree out of four butterflies I like. Those are uncommand butterfly’s.
Now I just have to decide where I want them… I will pray over it to and see if God let me do them in the future, like when I prayed over to continue of the one I have; P.U.S.H. – Pray Until Something Happens. I want to have F.R.O.G. – Fully Rely On God. Both those stands for my way back to God, how I got saved and how I trying to live my life. I prayed over it a whole summer and my answer was “I allow you to do that but but praying hands between the words”. So, yes I pray for everything in my life, even a tattoo. Cause I know got wants whats right for me. And I’m not an evangelist, I talk about my faith when people ask me things about life. And a tattoo is often something people ask “what does that stand for” and then I have my chance to tell them 🙂
The Butterflies will be for people that have made a big impact on my life through my life since I was a kid. Like one butterfly for my bonus grandpa, one for my bonus grandma (when she is gone which isn’t get), one for my mom’s ant and one for mom when she is gone.
I am thinking of to have grandpa’s and grandma’s on the thigh and the other two on the leg. I want them to be as natural as possible and in 3D maybe on a flower or a branch.
Butterflies stands for changing and all of my relatives have been through changes in there life’s in very different ways and I have too. So it fits.
I’m not the kind of person that make a tattoo just because I like something. No. I want it to stand for something. Make sense, you know.
So now when I kind of know what and where I want them, I’ll ask God and wait to the Day I afford to do/male them. I’m not sure I’ll do them here in Norway cause is horrible ecpencive! But my wish is to do them as soon as I get a job. In the future. I been thinking of this for the last 10-15 years anyway so I guess I can wait few more 😊😊😊

To have faith on God in the hard time can be difficult. Why am I writing this? Well, my mom has for the last two weeks been in and out of the hospital.. She has Alzheimer (AD) and the end getting closer more then ever.
It started with some cramps and she went to the ER by ambulance Monday the 29th of May. She stayed there for about 12 hours, then they send her up to IVA (intensive care section) and from there to section 61 (Medical care). She had got a lung-infection and she got antibiotics. She went stable and they could send her home to here Dementia service provider, Stenudden (see picture below).
Exactly one week later she went back by ambulance to the ER with new cramps, but this time it wasn’t the lungs. Thank God for that! But still… And both me and my brothers living far away from our Mom, my oldest biologic brother lives only 80km away but he has his family. And I don’t think it’s such big point for us to go and visit here in this last period. Cause we can’t really do nothing more then sit by her side. I don’t think Mom want us there either, cause that’s how she’s been saying all the years when she was healthy. We don’t know if she’s recognize us anymore… I makes all the calls to the different sections on the hospital and making sure that everyone has the right and newest information. Why, well I am such a copy of my mom and her personalities. I am a realistic person and have heard that through my whole life but the thing is that I like it too. I like to know the facts and to let to know that my family knows whats going on. 🙂 It just my way to show care and love.
I guess it helps me to believe I am doing the right thing for mom. I like to coordinate things and help out my way. It helps me believe God is leading me to help others. My faith on the small thing like “let mom not have too much pain” or “let her live a bit more healthy from physical pain”. My faith also get stronger by knowing we have others standing in prayer for us as a family. I think its harder for my dad and brothers. The “hard part” for me is that she will not be there in the future, meeting new grand-kids or celebrate different things happening in life. The sad part I think is that she will never be apart of my future wedding, family and if children comes into the picture. But I know she will stay with me forever and she will be watching over each of us siblings. ❤
My ventilation is this blog. I clear my head and thoughts. I have faith on God to do what’s best for Mom here and now.
The nurses I’ve been in contact with on section61 is adorable! They care for mom ❤ they really wants to do the best for her and they let us know everything we asks for. I would like to send some flowers to them just saying “You helped us so much during those days of wonder. Thank you all”. I would like to go and meet them in person nest time I’m up there!
I don’t think we as a family could go through this whole process without all the prayers that we have around us. It is so many friends, family and others around us that prays for mom to not have to much pain in this last period in life with the sickness and for us as family to not “fall a part” but to get strength through this and love to each other.
I am SO Thankful for every-ones prayers!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
I pray for mom every evening before I fall asleep and I know whenever mom is leaving us, she will get it better! She has been an Christian believer in many years and she believes in Heaven and I know she will get it better up there. She will be healthy again and she will not have any pain. ❤ She will watch over us from above. ❤
The last days has been different at “work”.
On Sunday I got an allergy reaction in my throat after I ate some food-snacks and I realized it must been nut in it.
Walnut.
Bad bad bad.
I had a similar reaction in my throat fifteen years ago on chic-peas. In that time a deathly reaction.
This was nearly the same feeling but I didn’t go to the ER as I probably should have done…
I went from “work” one hour before I was suppose too. Send an email to my boss about what happen on my way home. I just went home cause I thought I had medicine at home, didn’t find it but luckily the swelling went down by my normally allergy medicine.
Monday morning when I woke up the itching was still there so I phoned my doctor, got an appointment. Got there and got good medicine that was helping fast. 🙂 Went to “work” did my hours and everything was finally fine again.
Tuesday came and now I woke up with a bad red, swollen foot.. I thought it would go down during the day but it didn’t, so after the busy time on Tuesday between 7.30pm and 9pm my foot was so red and swollen I just had to call the hospital I had my knee surgery at (in February-13). They told me that I should go to the ER asap so I asked my co-worker if it was okay and he said “health first work always survive” and the night staff would be there quite soon anyway.
So I went to the ER. It didn’t take as long time as I thought it would (which it normally does). But when I met the doctor at ER the foot wasn’t so red any-more. The blood test was negative which was good cause then I could leave and try to get home. I knew that “my bus” didn’t go any more cause of the time of the night but I catch the tram to the central station and then the metro to the closest stop of walking distance. I had a good walk back home and a good chat with God.
Even if those days has been different I am thankful for the health system here in Norway and that I can get help when I need it without high bills.
Today Wednesday was my relaxing day and recharge my battery. And I have.
But when I checked Facebook I got a chock. A quite close friend have just past away. He and his wife was one of the first couple I got to know when I moved to Norway nine years ago. They kind of become extra parents to me. I have been looking up to them as Christians and as marriage couple. And now he is gone. He became 50+… I can’t really understand it. A cording to what his wife wrote on Facebook he was injured at his work in his head and brain.
R.I.P Danny Danson.
Prayers goes to the families. Lots of LOVE to everyone close to this family!
I just had to go for a walk, clear my brain and talk to God. I am still a bit in chock.

Clean your home.
“Cleaning my home for me, is when I know I can feel the sent of green soap afterwards.”
I grow up with Thursday as the cleaning day at home and it was always mom that did most of if at least when I was a child. As I grow into a teenager I started to help mom and when I moved out of home as 16 y.o. I brought this cleaning tradition with me. It was naturally for me. I have had some “thinking” about it but I kind of never changed it until for few y.o. It’s been cleaning day on Thursdays so many years of my life that it was a bit weird to suddenly clean the house/home, wash cloths an other day in the week. I have just bought a robot vacuum cleaner to safe my back from more issues and I am pleased with it so far. It is so easy that I only need to sit down, help it to no t “run” into the mat on the floor but my cat – Silver – is as skeptic to the robot “Rob” as to the more common one. Today I took the floor, washing with green soap. That the perfect end of cleaning at home.
“Is traditions we grow up with that important? Or is it just that we realizing about those tradition’s as adults and just bring them on?”
My mom’s thinking was this, if you clean the house on a Thursday you will have it clean and nice the whole weekend and you can come home from work on the Friday knowing you don’t need to think about cleaning.
It’s nice. But when you as I work weekends that doesn’t really work. I prefer to wash a Sunday if I am free or a Monday. Most times I wash cloths one day and clean the home an other day. It works for now. And it was during that I started to think more about this of “if we clean our home, then we need to clean our heart and mind and soul too”.
Clean your heart and soul.
It’s not just our homes that needs to be cleaned. Our heart and soul needs it too. I realized that I have been missing to listen to worship for the last week or so, when I started my play-list on Spotify yesterday. I have been feeling emptiness inside. To fill my ears and heart with good Christian music is as much important as to have a cleaned home. In one way I am surprised that I kind of lost track of the good things after I started the work-experience. In an other way I can understand it, because when I get home after a day or evening from the Hotel I am so exhausted that the only thing that is in my mind is to relax in-front of the television, which I do. It is only when I am free for more then two days I realizing that it is something missing. For me it is my way to clean my soul, to listen to worship or sit by the water and just clear my thoughts. It’s the best way to re-fill my soul, heart and mind with good words. It is easier for me to talk to God, to read an encouraging book or pray with Christian worship in the background. I am the girl that loves hard core and instrumentally heavy metal normally. But this year I have forced myself to listen to more common worship to see if I feel different or if God can speak to me in an other way. So far (nine months in to it) I can’t say it’s any difference’s of what kind of Christian music I listen to.
As a Christian I need thing that lift me up. I need a Christian fellowship where I can re-fill. To have a fellowship with Christians has become so much more important now when my week is Friday to Tuesday and not Monday to Friday. When Sunday’s isn’t a church-day in the same way as before August..
But I found my Christian fellowship in June, when I went to Torp, Norway. I have now started to be a part of this group on a more regular basis. I can go to church every second Sunday or join the Christian fellowship group on every second Saturday’s. I will see what it will be, this Sunday (the 4th of September) it’s church-day. When it fits I even manage to join my house church too on Thursday’s. I know I need it and I want it. Since I became a Christian the Christian Fellowship is the most important then go to church on a Sunday. The worship, shearing daily life and praying. Talk about life in a small or bigger group where I feel at home is the thing. Knowing that I have friends that will pray for me when I need it there in the group, when I am in the Hotel or have free and that I can be a part of the prayer for my friends. That’s when God can show us all his power.
A new journey has started in my Christian life, to found out what fits with work, what is the next step about my Christian fellowship and which church is mine? And I know God has a plan that fit’s my life!
I am as curious now as before the 1st of August or even more about what God has for me the rest of this year. 2016.
Do you remember to clean your heart, soul, thoughts and mind?

August Prayer-answer.
Time flies fast, when you have fun or have something to do.
It was first of August just now, well at lest in my head, life, world. But it is the twenty-first! That’s more then half the month. Where did those days and weeks go?
I started as a trainee in a hotel here in Oslo the first of August and I love it! It is a big prayer-answer! Friends have been with me in prayer for this for so may years! It has been a journey with God, where he has tout me how to trust him on 100% and not less. How God has provide my life, financially, with food, with getting to a doctor when I was to sick to catch a bus and a friend drove me. It is so much God has shown me and how great it is when I trust God.
It has been my journey I needed to learn to trust God more.
To understand that this is my foundation for my faith in life. Most people would maybe get mad or crazy to not have a job over five years. It has been a journey with tears, joy, struggles, “whys”, many prayers of “open the right door” and “close those doors that shall not even show some lights”. But I have to say, I have always something to do, one of the things is my customers and secondly is every project I start where I live. And I have been taking some courses during those years, but manly I have trusted God to get into some-kind of work-experience where God wants me, can use me. And here it is. The answer.
As I said above, I have started as a trainee in a Hotel here in Oslo. I love it! It’s fun even those days when we do not have so much to do. Even if my wish was that it would be more that happen during those days I guess that in one way it is good to be here as a trainee in Oslo’s smallest Hotel in the way that it does not take long time to get in to the Hotel-routines, but and yes I have to say but. But I wish it was more going on manly because I need it. I am the kind of person that need the “busy time” to refill my battery (energy) I get energy of meeting and helping people, and here at this Hotel does it feel like everything goes in s-l-o-w-m-o-t-i-o-n or a better description is that when the guests are arriving do they not come everyone in the same time (which is normal) or not even close to each other. A normal day few guest comes maybe around 3pm when we start the in-check and then its a long gap (more then an hour) until next group of guest comes, it can even pasting more then two hours before next guest…
In the same time these days going so fast and I only do four hours per day.
I will start with eight hours next week, which is a bit scary for me. Manly because I have not been working for the last five years, have had back-issues since the summer of 2000 and the worst pain the most recently in the last two years.
But I am to curious to start on those eight hours per day. I am curious and anxiety in the same time about how it will go. And I am to stubborn to not try.
The 17th was my free day – off work. A day I priority to go to the gym, for my health. A routine I got out of during summer, a routine I now struggle to get back into. I miss it so much! But I guess it is normal with new routines in life whatever it is a new job or studies, to get the time to reach to do those things that makes you happy or build up your life in a long term. I guess it is normal when your weeks looks different.
Anyway… I am looking forward to get into a work-routine my body manage.
I received a message from a friend through messenger on Thursday this week, where I had told here about my struggle to get a new routine in my life. And she answered that “it’s normal before all new things get into routines about everything in life” It was just so nice to “hear it” from someone I know and someone who has been in the situation quiet recently.
An ironic detail happen on Thursday.. I managed to get off work thirty minutes before I was suppose to get off. I guess I just was just tired in my head or that I had an other day in my mind. I realized that on my way to the bus so I called the Hotel and talked to the guy in charge. Which in my mind made it normal to think I will start thirty minutes earlier on Friday. Something weird happen there, I can still not say what happen.
During those days at the Hotel have I learn out-check, in-check, double-checking the booking system the hotel is using, where all the rooms are, how many it is, how many conference rooms we have, overbooking, where the fire signs are and some more. How close everyone in the hotel is working together no matter if you are in the housekeeping or in the restaurant. Which also means that “your routine” is not always the original routine, it can be to help someone else in an other ares. Quite many new things, I have got to know around twenty-five new colleges and started to walk much much. All good things in life.
Today is it Sunday, laundry-day and relaxing, charge my energy-day. I have realized that when I am at the Hotel I do not have enough energy when I get home to do more then necessary like eat, maybe check my email, maybe order things that I need (that other people rather buy in the store) to keep up in life. But it is okay for me. Life is to short to think about what other people think I should or could do so I do not do that.
For the future, I really hope and wish I will be able to start to go next to the night-shift worker in a sooner future then I had in mind when I started three weeks ago, and that the night-shift will fit me as much as I think it will. Because that has been my dream so many years now…
