Katto

Katto
In Finnish there's just one word for the roof and ceiling: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/katto

The Sunday Challenge this week was to illustrate something to be grateful for. And in short, I'm grateful for the roof above my head.

We Finns keep on saying it is a win in a lottery to be born in Finland. But even here we do have homeless people, and although we don't have hurricanes, earthquakes and war (at the moment), we do have our problems like high rate of domestic violence, alcoholism and mental disorders.

So, I feel myself especially grateful and lucky to be born and then married to loving, caring and wealthy enough family to avoid even those typical risks for us Finns.

And therefore, I'm actually super grateful for not to have any real reasons to be ungrateful.

I have a "twin" in Finland (my "pen pall" born on the same day on the same year to whom I wrote as I was a teen ager) whom I found again after a 40 years break, a nice friendship that we have bound after such a long time !! So Finland is also very dear to my heart !!!
I am happy to have Finnish friends, Sami !!!!
