'100 Happy Days' Challenge: Days 22 - 28

The weeks just seem to be flying by. It's already February, it's Grati-Tuesday again and last week saw us passing a quarter of the way through this fun challenge. 

I've been feeling pretty tired the last few days so this has been a great way of getting me to focus on what makes me happy and take my mind off how sleepy I'm feeling. 

Here's a few of the things that made me happy last week:

Day 22 - 'There is only one ATM in Nozawa and it's inside the post office which closed at 6pm. This meant scraping together every last cent we had to buy ice cream at our favourite bakery for our last night here! We now have exactly 11 cents to our name.' The husband and wife that owned this bakery were so lovely and always having a laugh with us. And by always, I mean at least once, if not twice a day when we went there to eat delicious pastries, donuts and ice cream!

Day 23 - 'We travelled from Nozawa back to Tokyo today and checked into a hotel near the airport. The hotel is filled with great cliche quotes about travelling.' I love all kinds of quotes about life, love, travelling and everything in between. 

Day 24 - 'With so many proposals and weddings at the moment it makes me think of our wedding almost two and a half years ago and I can't wipe the smile off my face.' I love looking at our wedding photos, they bring back such incredible memories and always make me smile. I love seeing other people getting engaged and married because I know they are getting to experience the amazing feeling of everything that comes with weddings - the proposal, engagement party, all the planning, hens party and of course, the big day! It's such a magical time in people's lives.

Day 25 - 'Loving the new app that I can use to track the countries I've visited. I've only seen 4% of the world and 8% of USA. Looking forward to getting those percentages up over the next couple of years. Our trip to North America at the end of the year and Europe next year should help with that.' You all know travelling is a big passion of mine and this is going to be a great app for me to use as motivation and inspiration. #bucketlist #30by30

Day 26 - 'Chocorn and a movie with my bestie - perfect Saturday night in.' After being on holidays for 6 weeks it was so nice to relax on the couch and watch a movie. The chocorn was just an added bonus thanks to my darling Mumma who gave it to us for christmas. 

Day 27 - 'Sunday afternoon smoothie by the river.' After being away for so long it was nice to do something we love doing when we're at home and go to our local cafe to get a smoothie. 

Day 28 - 'I had such a great catch up with one of my good friends today - we went for a run and then had a juice after. She's one of those friends that you could spend all day talking with and still never run out of things to say.' Kate and I love our weekly run/catchup. After 6 weeks apart we certainly had a lot to catch up on.
