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.

I hope you guys have a good weekend and can get out and enjoy some time away from the house. Very busy week ahead of me starting tonight.

DeleteIt has been a weird week but thanks to a particularly disruptive coworker being out all week, I actually got a lot done at work. So I earned my weekend for sure and am looking forward to it. Have a great weekend everyone!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope he announces that'll be permanent so you can actually do your job instead of listening to him bitch 4 hours out of every day!
