Song Lyrics of Awesome - Incubus

Hey now, in spite of this we’re doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine
Even diamonds start as coal
We’re incomplete and infantine
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give it time girl, the fire feels divine
The sweetest things
They burn before they shine
We think way too much
Look at us losing touch
A promise is a promise until...
Yeah, in spite of this we’re doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine
Even diamonds starts as coal. 


~


You can do anything.

Lucky You

Oh lucky you
There's nothing to lose

Hygge Hugs

After watching an episode of BBC's Coast (you can watch it here), I felt compelled to look into the Danish Art of "Hygge" more closely.

Described as a feeling of "cosiness", I couldn't think of anything more fitting for this blog, really.

Hygge can be anything: sitting in front of a roaring fire with a hot spiced tea, spending time with friends and family on the beach and singing a song together... anything that is familiar, nostalgic, heartwarming.

Hygge is apparently pretty difficult to describe as there are no synonyms for it in another language than Danish, but this website describes it in such a lovely way.

And here are a few of my favourite images from Flickr that I think sum-up what my interpretation of "hygge" is:-
