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.

I am fine with another low-key weekend. It was a weird week and I just need to decompress a bit anyway. Have a great restful weekend everybody!

ReplyDeleteUgh, that does not sound fun and I love how the docs are so non-chalant about it like the needle poke is the worst of your problems. Uh, I gotta try to SIT at some point here without feeling like I'm getting bear trapped all over again! So happy to hear yours came back clear and praying you NEVER have to go through that again!
