Things That Make Me Happy

We’re back to Monday, hurrah! How did your weekend go? I got into New York yesterday and I may or may not have passed out for close to 24 hours cold. Yeah, jet lag and economy class will do that to me.  But all good, I’m alive and enjoying the sunshine and seeing all the pretty tulips along the streets of the city. Bliss! So what better way to start the week off with a lighthearted post on things that make me smile.  And yes, I pretty much stole this idea from Malia and Caitlin – both of who bring a smile to my face – so if you’re not reading their blogs, well then, what are you waiting for?

Let’s get started!

♥ Waking up to a thunderstorm and not having to get up

♥ Lie ins

♥ George cuddles

♥ Smell of fresh baked bread

♥ Sound of the waves crashing into the sand

♥ Feeling the sand in between my toes

♥ A super cold glass of champagne or a crisp, white wine

♥ The above shared with a friend or two

♥ Pouring the tea on my balcony until the wee hours – even if I am dying the next day

♥ A bowl of yummy pasta

♥ Working out and giving it my all

♥ Fig scented candles

♥ Snail mail

♥ Animal videos

♥ Holding hands with my (non-existent) partner

♥ Seeing my family

♥ A little kid’s smile

♥ A good book

♥ When your favorite song comes on the radio

♥ Pastel (a Brazilian empanada)

♥ Getting to the top of the mountain and riding down fast

♥ Flowers

♥ Dancing like an idiot

♥ The perfect flat white

♥ An unexpected text from someone

♥ Cupcake ATMs

♥♥♥♥♥

Now it’s your turn!
