A rainy Sunday makes me reflect

Marike managed to create a website, adding new features such as a blog and a guestbook. Of course, this blog needs to be tested to see how it works.

I’ve always loved rainy days. Even now, I’m seeking that same atmosphere I experienced during childhood rainy days—watching the dark sky through the window while feeling the warmth of home.

Wrapping myself in a blanket feels comforting.

Yet today, I’ve felt unusually drained. I realized I had dozed off on the couch and woke up with a stiff neck. My thoughts drift again to unfinished tasks. How can there be so many of them? Should I start making a list, I wonder? Maybe some kind of list would help clear the chaos in my mind.

Let's start with Liekki.

Many people have already finished reading the paperback. I have mixed feelings about the text. A hastily produced book is full of typos, minor inconsistencies, and external imperfections.

"Imperfection"—hmm, that’s actually a good word to describe my current state. Life feels like a curtain that hangs loosely from its rod, sagging and distorting the overall picture.

So, how do you fix that curtain? By adjusting it. The same goes for Liekki—I must revise the text and send an improved version forward. And once I’ve done that, the translation work can begin.

Now I have managed to move one thing forward in my mind. A whole list of other matters awaits in everyday life. To make time for revisions, I must also allow time for myself. Instead of filling my life with endless tasks and thoughts, it’s time to organize everything.

One step at a time.
