Hygge..Danish secrets to happy living

yesterday Nik and Peter asked me to teach them how to knit! how  I love this! One of the ways I survived covid last year was knitting 4 blankets. Knitting is relaxing and productive and Hygge. What is hygge? It is ways to keep happy and warm during the winter months. It is candles, hot drinks, fire places ,  .music, warm sweaters and good books.

keeping warm and cuddly with pets and hot tubs help keeping hygge

I will admit, I need sun! I am really blessed to have a south facing family room and sunroom and these are where I choose to read and study during these months. 

This is the view out our front door, It is North facing with snow from December to March

we workout at the gym very early to avoid the crowd

we had a get away in Sr George to  get some sun and fun before Jims surgery. His surgery was a few days ago and he is recovering nicely. 

 

Finding peace in the New YEAR

Can we find our source of peace and joy in the New Year? Yes we can, I have hope in us. 

Here is Jim keeping his New years goal to work out! Yes, he does, every day! He did marry me and loves to start off the day right.

In the New year, we are continuing to look for ways to serve others,

We love being with family and wish that we could be with them all. ugh! still dealing with Covid restrictions

Jim started redoing the kitchen,,,

Our youngest grandsons love the hot tub and sharing time together

Me, I have rediscovered my need for scheduling study time and increasing my knowledge through classes and reading. Here Jim caught me getting distracted.

being able to work with my grandkids by showing my love of learning is priceless

SO , here is to lifting up joy and happiness for a NEW year. We celebrate with music and dance and uplifting shows and messages.
