10 Things that make me happy

I think it is important to see the good things in life, and be happy with what you have. Everyone has their bad moments, but don't get stuck in them. Here are 10 thing that make me happy:




1. Traveling. As you might know I love to travel, and have lived in Australia, England, and the USA in the last few years. It really makes me happy that I have actually seen so much of the world already, and I still have a whole life ahead of me :)

2. Sunshine. I love nice sunny days, just sit in the park and enjoying the weather. Unfortunately San Francisco isn't always that sunny, but I don't have to go too far to find the sun. Going to see a friend, that lives close to San Jose makes all the difference.

3. The babies. I have been in San Francisco for a little bit over 9 months now and still love every bit of. The babies are obviously a huge part of my life, considering I spent 45 hours a week with them, and I just love seeing them grow. When I first came here, they were 4 months old and just lay there, now there like little people and are actually starting to walk. They are such a joy in my life and I'm grateful every day for the time I spend with them.

4. Clean sheets. Might be a bit weird, but I love the feeling of sleeping in a clean bed.

5. Workout. Although I sometimes have to drag myself to the gym, I do feel really good after a workout. I now even secretly like it when I'm sweaty because I know I did something right.

Right after my cycling class..

6. Healthy Food. Since I started to work out more, I also started to eat healthier. My breakfast is pretty simple and the same every day, because I'm too lazy to make more of an effort. My lunch, on the other hand, I actually try to vary a lot more. I love fruit, so I usually make a smoothie and bake some eggs, have some toast, things like that. It makes it a like a little party on your plate.

7. Friends. What would you do without them? I feel like I'm very lucky that I have friends all around the world. Even though we might not talk on a regular basis, I know that they are there and that is what counts. And then I have my friends here off course, most of them are Au pairs, so even more nationalities, its nice because we all go trough the same things, so its easier to understand each other.

8. Nail polish. This is kind of my addiction, I love nail polish and doing my nails. Usually I do it at least twice a week, and I try to do some more nail arts again, as I have some more time. Its just some 'me' time, and its just fun!

9.Skype. I think this is one of the best things ever, I talk to my mama every week, which is probably why I'm not homesick. Its just so easy and the best thing is that its free haha!

10. Getting a postcard. I love getting mail, this is also why I started postcrossing again, its just so nice to go to the mailbox and find a postcard. A lot goes trough the internet these days, but I think I postcard is really different, if someone sends me a postcard I feel like they are actually trying to make an effort. So I'm going to try and send some more postcards too.

This were the 10 things that make me happy. What makes you happy?
