HYGGE OF YESTERYEARS Think of all those times of the bygone years, when you didn’t know or hadn’t heard the word ‘hygge’. Think of all those comforting moments throughout your thoughts of the past, with your family, relatives, friends, and/or acquaintances that brought you joy, laughter, happiness, and so much more. Honestly, hygge always existed. It was always alive and kicking among us. It’s only when there is a label or a name tag to ‘a calm and cozy feeling’ that it gets the recognition it deserves. Whether you live in a country where the climate is harsh and totally unwelcoming or you live a very ‘Mediterranean’ life, hygge always existed. It’s only with passage of time and in retrospect over the past years of memories, you not only realize all the good times you had and shared with others, but also realistically speaking, the not so very pleasant times as well, and in saying that, also, the pranks and giggles, you had fun with all along. Remembering those ‘good times’ you realized today, are your very own hygge moments. YOU have to give ‘hygge’ ‘your’ personal touch. Just the way reminiscing over those pleasant memories of the past brought joy and a smile to your face, so also should be your current thoughts, every time. Difficult sometimes?? YES!!! Impossible?? NO!!! Currently, the way in which our world is functioning, anyone would wonder, what difference would it make to reminisce over past memories, and how would those ‘thoughts’ change anything as of right now. Honestly, NOTHING. Reminiscing over memories of yesteryears and enjoying a little chuckle over those intricate details, will not change what the current moment holds for you. But by that same token, it does bring you a certain amount of PEACE from those thoughts, for the moment. And who knows, you might even try to ‘live a little’ and may even give you some ideas or hints to ‘relive’ those memories for ‘yourself’ for your private peace of mind. Those ‘memories’ may trigger you to probably visit old friends, have a chuckle with them occasionally over meals, or drinks, talk to someone you haven’t heard of or met in ages, who knows… technology hasn’t failed us!! Life goes on!! All those happy memories of yesteryears, will not only bring joy to our senses, but will also bring a tear or two to our minds as well, simply through comparisons of those beautiful past memories of yesteryears, and the current situations of life. Appreciative thoughts of gratitude towards those memories, brings peace to your mind. It will not bring the past back but it will certainly bring ‘PEACE’ to your
conscience. always!!
Keep
those
yesteryears
‘hygge’
