As I reflected on the memories we made, I was reminded of my word of the year - "hygee". It has many definitions but the one I connect with is "creating sanctuary in life". I wondered where this summer did hygee present itself?
Looking back, it appeared so many places and at many different times, including:
- in the glow of family/friends faces gathering around fires
- the smell of a freshy-cut bouquet of sweat-peas on the kitchen table
- the blanket like feeling you get on warm days when the heat of sun sinks into your skin
- the feeling of serenity on mornings when you have no plans for the day and the possibilities are endless
- the comfort of staying in jammies til midday
- late night cuddles with my kids on the couch binge watching a Netflix show
- the feeling of blissful joy experienced by just being surrounded by friends and family
We feel truly blessed for the wonderful memories!
