gemütlichkeit

 meaning: geniality, friendliness


Karen Skelton posted this comment on my FB cover shot taken this morning: What a beautiful shot! Great choice for a wintertime cover photo. It makes me think of the German word Gemütlichkeit.

Gemütlichkeit is a German-language word used to convey the idea of a state or feeling of warmth, friendliness, and good cheer. Other qualities encompassed by the term include cosiness, peace of mind, and a sense of belonging and well-being springing from social acceptance (Wikipedia)

I accept this compliment. It works for me :)
