10 things that makes me happy

I wanted to make a list of things that makes me happy. But I have so many different things that make me happy throughout the year. I decided to split my happy list in to four.

Four seasons - four lists

Each list will have 5 seasonal things that makes me happy and 5 things that always makes me happy all year around. 

First up is my summer edition Happy list.

1. Sunshine

Nothing makes me more happy than sunshine in the summer. Coming from Sweden, where we have midnight sun and no sun in the winter. This is what summer is about.

2. Holiday

Summer is holiday time. Discovering new cities or relaxing on the beach. Holidays makes me happy like nothing else. I'm excited from the minute I'm booking the holiday and the memories after is for a lifetime. 

3. Flowers

Flowers in so many colours just stimulates my mind and keeps my heart happy. I love gardening or even better, enjoying someone else's garden and their beautiful work. I'm going to Monet's garden in Giverny with my mum soon, it's so breathtakingly beautiful. You can't be angry near beautiful flowers. 

4. Fruit

I love fruit. Summer is the best time because all the fruit I love are in season. Especially strawberries and watermelon. I love strawberries beyond control. 

5. Coffee

For some reason I drink more coffee in the summer. All other seasons I drink more tea. But in the summer I love sitting outside a cafe drinking my  flat white with soya milk and reading a good book. Simple things like that makes me happy. 

Other things that always makes me happy

6. My family

First of all my wonderful, amazing husband always make me happy and puts a smile on my face without fail. 

I also love talking/seeing my family that all live in Sweden. 

7. Running 

Running makes me happy, relaxed, healthy and strong. I've been running for over a year now and it makes me feel satisfied and proud of myself. I've accomplished so much more than I ever thought I was capable of. M

8. Food

I love food. It makes me happy.

9. Cats

I grew up with cats and you can't be sad with cats. They're so cut and so bad ass. Cat cuddles are the best. 

10. Reading

I love books. It's such a great feeling to disappear to another reality for a while. My dream is to write my own book one day. 

That is the first part of my happy list. What are some of the things that make you happy?
