Warm Weather Hygge
By definition, hygge (hooga) according to the Denmark website is about "taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about - or even by yourself - to relax and enjoy life's quieter pleasures." There's a fun little book I read on vacation back in 2018 called The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living and I loved it so much, I bought one as soon as I got back. There was actually nothing more relaxing than reading that little book curled up on the couch in the sunroom with a cup of tea and is one of my favorite memories of that trip.

It did not sound very good to me at first but I have to admit that the end result looks delicious!

I was hesitant, it seemed like a big commitment, and was kind of expensive, but knew I had to change something FAST, because I was on my way back to regaining all 178 pounds I lost. When I got on the scale last night, (for the first time in weeks), I saw was a 35-pound regain from my 150-lb. happy weight, (and that's just since Christmas!) so I've got my work cut out for me in the next six months. Thanks for being an inspiration!!! It's only noon, but so far....so good! It's a START!!!
