An Afternoon of Hygge

March 25, 2017

An Afternoon of Hygge   8"x10"  watercolor on paper

A simple practice of cozy. There's nothing like the comfort that can be found in the company of good friends and a warm bowl of hot soup.  

A Definition: Hygge: (noun) A Danish word for a quality of coziness (=feeling warm, comfortable, and safe) that comes from doing simple things such as lighting candles, baking, or spending time at home with your family: You can read more about Hygge here, through this fun article courtesy of The New Yorker.

Come to find out, I've been practicing this lifestyle since I was a child, I just never knew the word for it before now.

Thanksgiving Friends

November 18, 2016

Getting ready for the holiday where we are thankful. Thankful for friends and family. Of course, there's always reason to give thanks when making a new friend like these two little critters.

I personally am enjoying these many feeling-thankful-thoughts. Hope you are getting the chance to spend some time counting your blessings this week too.
