"Hygge" is a great word. I think people definitely need to learn to appreciate these moments, as they can be few and far between sometimes. I don't know if "chasing" is the right term -- but it gets the point across for sure. At the very least, I'll try to make an effort to slow down and appreciate one of these moments the next time I get one!
:) You are right.. These moments help us to move on more smoothly with life... Finding meaning in everyday is the key to happiness :)
