Hi ronni, nice post! The vacation home looks very cozy, but like you said, it's funny how looking at this picture feels totally different to you than to me. I think we feel nostalgic when we think of those "good old times" and sometimes, we feel a little sad because those times are in the past. Maybe one way to reduce nostalgia is to think of how the past contributes to your present happiness - that is, instead of focusing on the past and feeling sad that the trip or experience is over, we can focus on how that past experience added to our present happiness. It's especially enjoyable to reminisce about past trips and adventures with your family and friends and enjoy the present moment of reminiscing.

Nice solution with drinking that old Port wine. 😀
