hygge

here is a great word, just in from an alert reader, that can help prepare us for winter!  it's "hygge" and is danish for an overall sense of well-being.

more specifically, it has to do with a mindset of coziness, of being together.  danes are known as the happiest people on the planet and much of that comes with their collective practice of not rushing, of lighting candles and knowing how to really be together as friends and family.

hyggeligt can be an adjective or a noun, as in a place that is known for stopping and resting.  i don't know about you, but this word helps me look forward to the colder months!  what are some ways you can hygge and join the happiest country on earth?
