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.

I am so glad to have the first part of the garage done and I'm looking forward to getting those new shelves up so we can have even more storage. While I may not be looking forward to painting the ceiling as much, I know it's all going to look great in the end and I am all for that! Have a great weekend everybody!
ReplyDeleteWe had two grocery stores to go to this morning and were all done by 10:34am which felt wonderful. Then I worked on paperwork and laundry while the hubs did the vacuuming.

DeleteUgh, that stinks that you had to put a sheet on it but it probably had just as much sound dampening as a pocket door!

It was like the Squid Games in there every time someone walked by the door would sway in the wind and felt like you might as well be peeing in a bucket in the living room for entertainment. Lord forbid you had to do more than that!
