I can't imagine the agony this woman, her family and all others who have faced the threat of cancer, have gone through. But ... http://blogs.denmark.dk/peterandreas/2010/02/23/holy-hygge-part-2/ I'll bet you've already heard of hygge. Actually, I'm willing to make the bet more interesting by putting 100 kroner on the fact that you've been told that it's a good thing.
