Since it is February already (anyone else have an issue with spelling February or is it just me?) and -10 degrees Celsius outside right now, I thought some positive thoughts would be a good way to welcome the new month. When the days are dark and gloomy remembering the little things that make me happy are what help get me through. So here is to the little things, 8 of them to be precise, that have made me smile this past week.
1. All my lovely readers! Thank you all for your comments on last Wednesday’s post. I am so glad so many of you were able to relate to my blogging fails. And another thank you to everyone who filled out my survey, I so appreciate all the feedback and am so happy with the great responses I got.
2. I know I went on and on about it yesterday but I am still so happy I captured the Northern Lights on camera! Now I can share a little piece of the Icelandic beauty with my family and of course you all! In case you missed it (you will want to read this post!) here is my favorite picture from the night.

3. Before the Northern Lights made their appearance my Friday night was not off to a good start. For Christmas H had gotten me a heart rate monitor fitness watch that I had been wanting forever. So when this watch disappeared from the locker room bench I had set it down on while I locked my locker I was a tad bit upset. Like I cried to H and his brother in the middle of the gym, I know, ridiculous, but it had been a long week.
So where is the good news in this story? Well the gym called today to say someone returned my watch! Thank you honest person for bringing my watch back, you seriously made my day.
4. This picture my Mom sent me the other night…
Oh how I love my Azora! This photo basically made me tear up, I love it, thanks Mom!
5. The days are finally getting longer, yesterday it was daylight before 10am! Y’all this is huge, its basically summer in Iceland!
6. This (blurry, terrible quality, but I still love it) picture of H and I from the graduation party last weekend. My man knows how to keep me happy, give me wine and feed me chips.

7. Thanks to a sick day last week I discovered that Friends is on Netflix. Can we talk about the fact that I have only ever seen a few episodes of Friends until recently. How have I gone this long without seeing this show? Thank you Netflix for helping me solve this problem, I am loving binge watching the show.
8. The sun has made an appearance more times this past week than all winter! I made sure to get some vitamin D and take a walk after work on Friday.



This area is right outside my work, ya its beautiful I know. I can’t wait for the days to warm up even more so I can enjoy lunch by the sea again!
It may be all the vitamin D I have been soaking up lately or the fact that the dullest month of the year has passed but I am all smiles and ready to tackle February!
Question of the Day?
What is making you smile this week?
