Saudade

Saudade

I just came across a new word, Saudade. Have you heard of it?

"Saudade" is a Portuguese word that implies a feeling of nostalgia, a longing for something or someone that is missing. It is a complex and deep emotion that has a strong cultural significance in Portugal and other Portuguese-speaking countries. It can be related to a sense of loss, a yearning for the past, or a desire to be reunited with someone or something that is gone. "Saudade" is often expressed through music, poetry, and literature, and it is considered a fundamental part of the Portuguese identity.

Is there a National Park that you have visited that gives you the emotion of "Saudade"? Where have you been that you wish to return to? 

Consider putting up photos or artwork of places you love on the walls of your home to keep those memories fresh in your mind every day.
