Katolska mässa och julfest

Idag hade vi katolska mässan och julfirandet i Södra Ryd i Skövde.

Åkte iväg redan i Skövde för att handla lotteri priser och tillbehör vid 15-tiden, sedan vidare till lokalen för att förbereda och dekorera lite. Fick följa med min vän till Tidan för att jag hade lovat att sova över hos henne så vi kunde träna sångerna till mässan.
Vaknade vid 7-tiden på morgonen och förbered oss på färden till kyrkan. Det tog ca 30 minuter dit. Klockan 11 började mässan. Efter mässan blev det mat, varje familj fick ta med sig en rätt som vi dukade till ett riktig julbord. Några av os hade förberett lite underhållning under tiden alla fikade. Det var väl lyckat tycker jag men skulle förberett oss lite mer. Nästa år blir det mer förberett hoppas jag. Jag trodde att allting var klar, att vi hade någon programledare men det visade sig att vi inte hade. Så jag blev båda programledare, ljudtekniker och underhållare. Det var inte så lätt!

I am a swedish citizen with asian origin, lives in Sweden, entrepreneur, accountant, fashion designer, dressmaker, professional interpreter and translator and from year 2014, I also became a local politician with some assignments from the local government. I moved to Sweden after marriage with a Swedish national in 1986. Two years later we got a son followed by a daughter after 21 months. Satisfied with life in fact, I guess I got all I wished for, it feels I have everything. Being married is not just a bed of roses, the roses have thorns also and you can get it at times but we’ve always been doing pretty good. Kinder and better husband I do not think I can get, everyone has their flaws and life becomes easier if you can accept them. I’m not a perfect person either. I became a grandmother quite young, only 45 years old, was a little skeptical at first but then I loved to be one. Now I am already a grandmother of two, a boy and a girl of 20 months between them, such a great feeling, it feels like it was a replay of my life. When I have both of them at home, it feels like I was young again and is the mother of small children. I can not explain but so damn good it is. When I moved to Sweden I knew nothing about the country, but now it feels like I’ve always lived here. I speak Swedish better than my native language, better in Swedish grammar than my husband, it may sound strange but it’s true. I dream even in Swedish. I hang out with many Swedes, have worked and still working in Swedish companies. I go to the Swedish church though I am a Roman Catholic. We believe in the same God anyway. I’ve adapted pretty well in Swedish society. I think I have to adjust to that country I moved to, not the country or its citizens to adapt to me. Sweden has no responsibility whatsoever that I wanted to move here so I could not demand anything else, but now a citizen, I think I have the right as any other native Swedes. I pay taxes and do my duties as a citizen. I think I am a good role model and a loyal citizen and can fight for my new country.
