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. Many tend to associate this practice in the cooler months of Fall and Winter because it tends to focus on the act of being cozy. Snuggling under a blanket, enjoying a warm, healing cup of tea by the fireplace (or fireplace on TV ), lighting a favorite candle while doing a calming hobby like cross stitch or scrapbooking.

I always smile for pics even if I don't have perfect teeth like you. I am actually quite jealous of your teeth. You never get cavities either. Cherish the fact that you don't have any fillings. Not that they hurt (once they're in) but they sure don't look good.

ReplyDeleteI'm half and half. Sometimes I smile with my mouth closed and other times my teeth show. I absolutely abhor having my picture taken and I think I've had two pictures that I actually like of me in my entire life. Goes back to some permanent damage done to my eye that always shows up in pictures, so it's an ugly reminder for me. I agree with Another Layer -- mine never look natural or easy-going either.
ReplyDeleteI rarely like how I look in pics, smiling or not, so I tend to make whatever face suits my mood and accept it's going to be goofy. My brother spent most of his life not smiling in pics. Now that his wife and son have got him smiling more, he wonders why he went through such a long no-smiling phase since he looked goofy in EVERY ONE of those pics.
