The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well | Meik Wiking

pick

A minor ode to cake. For a book about happiness, it makes you happy to just sit and read (or even better, listen to). The author is a delight to listen to as he reads his own words, especially when he talks about cake. My only complaint is that it ended too soon. 🎂🍰🧁🥮🧡🧡

5feet.of.fury Wait it‘s pronounced Hoo-Ga?! 11h

GingerAntics @5feet.of.fury pretty much… of course it sounds different when a native English speaker says those sounds together and when a Danish or Norwegian native speaker says them. The emphasis is on the OO and the a is almost a ghost of a sound, but yeah. 5h

The section about lighting is the literary version of my current search for a new bedside lamp. (How dare my old one die!)

TheBookHippie In the same boat… 21h

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I thought I found a solution… then my mother wanted one, and no to turn on one is to turn on the other and she wants it off when I need it on. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 21h

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I had an old tiny lamp I used since the 80s it died Sunday 😝 21h

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie oh, now that is heartbreaking! Thank you for your long and storied service, lamp. 21h

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie mine still technically works… I think. The light bulb went out, so I replaced it and it still didn‘t work. So I got all new bulbs. None of them worked. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Mine is only 4 years old I think, but man I used that thing every day and how am I supposed to sleep now?! It was the light I put on before I went to bed. 21h

TheBookHippie Right?!?! Mr BookHippie is like just leave the big light on 🤣😝 he travels most weeks … 21h

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie no, if it‘s too bright I‘ll never actually go to sleep. 18h

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics my exact words 🤣 11h

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie it‘s a very delicate balancing act of light enough to see, but not light enough to keep you awake. 5h

Excuse me? I‘m going to need more information. I understand what these words mean individually, but this sentence just isn‘t computing for me.

I‘m sorry. I don‘t understand this concept. I‘m 38, almost 39, and I am still not convinced my parents even “like” me. I‘m pretty sure “love” is more a sense of obligation. That usually comes just before the words “I need you or I‘ll have to go into a home.”

kspenmoll Just adore you! 22h

GingerAntics @kspenmoll 🥰 aw, thank you! Can one digitally Hygge? 21h

The Book of Joy | Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu

Belated #5JoysFriday!
1. My dad & I are making progress in getting rid of unnecessary stuff—someone took the dresser we left at the curb, and we gave a bunch of vintage clothes & hats to a local youth theater org for costumes
2. During the above, I found a sweet “Thank You Grandpa” booklet my nieces gave my dad almost 20 years ago (we kept that!!)
3. Between rainstorms we had some glorious clear days where I could see snow on the mountains ⤵️

4. One of my college professors (Bible professor at a conservative Christian university) is posting thoughtful critiques of Trump/Christian nationalism & related topics on social media. Today: “The Christian virtues are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I‘ve yet to figure out where contempt for transgender people fits in this list.”
5. And, that misprint from Sunday‘s bulletin! 😆 1w

TheKidUpstairs I love all of these! 1w
