Hi Everyone! Have you heard of the word "hygge"? I first learned it early this year and read more about it from this book:

It's written by Meik Wiking who works at the Happiness Research Institute 
(I didn't know such organization existed and he must have a really satisfying job!).

• coziness of the soul
• the absence of annoyance
• taking pleasure from the presence of everyday things
• cozy togetherness
