Trip to North Myrtle Beach

 Well, it has been a bit since I posted.  I needed to go to Raleigh to see my dad for his 84th birthday and to check in on my mom.  I stayed at my daughter’s house, which is being remodeled.  All three bathrooms were demoed and being worked on so we stayed in a hotel.  

We then left for North Myrtle Beach where my husband and a bunch of his family from Nebraska met us.  We had a wonderful time with family.  Checked on our beach house that we rent (if you want to check it out visit www.aarrgghhspot.com). Here is a pic my nephew took on our street.  


We went to some great restaurants down there and to the beach.  Here is a family photo we took of all of us.


And then just the three of us.  I am not good with selfies, but this wasn’t too bad.



It was good to be back home!

Next trip I go on is back to Raleigh mid-July to see parents, friends, and several doctor appointments.  

Until next time.

Hugs, Meg

Hygge

 I have been learning about Hygge (pronounced Hoo-ga) over the last few years.  Initially I learned about this Scandinavian concept through a magazine subscription that I adore - Stampington’s Bella Grace, then through the Bella Grace Field Guide.  The concept is now transferring to my everyday life and journaling. Hygge describes a send of coziness, togetherness, and wellness.  Hygge cannot be bought, it is more an experience and giving yourself permission to be more mindful of what coziness means to you.   When I think of coziness, I think of the cabin where I am now privileged to live full-time in my retirement.  Moving here has made me appreciate the simpler things of life.  Hygge to me can be simply being in my PJs, wrapping up in a soft blanket outside by a fire pit, reading a good book on a rainy day, snuggling with my boxers on the couch, a cup of tea while I journal, watching the birds at the feeder when I drink my coffee in the morning…….
