It is perhaps just a drop in the ocean, just a little more time, but otherwise, another drop might have been the straw that broke the camel’s back – to the detriment of those around me and myself. I have also been able to practise the Finnish attitude of sisu these days, which requires whole books to describe, but which ultimately aims to accept life’s challenges and questions with patience and perseverance and to find the right answers. So I am in the process of learning.
