I read this thing recently about "hygge" that people in Denmark do to maintain their status as the happiest people on earth despite the absolutely unbearable cold. The word doesn't translate concisely. It basically means:
It is effing cold, and you have two options:
1. allow your shoulders to tense up to your ears and your teeth to chatter out of your skull and your stone-cold heart to lead the way. Or
2. bundle up, settle in, slow down, breathe deep, build a fire, and wrap up in those you love.
So if you hygge, you pick #2.
The snow icecream lasted for one day. Then it melted and the temp dropped to THREE DEGREES and guess what? The cold does bother me anyway.
So I'm hygging...
Lighting fires. Lowering the lights. Roasting food. Spreading the love. Snuggling my great people.
Join me! Hygge helps!!
