Addictive songs. Current favorites are Ditmas by Mumford and Sons, Nice Day for a Sulk by Belle and Sebastian, Ocean of Night by Editors, and Night's on Fire by David Nail.
Waking up early for a mug of peach green tea in bed.
Grapefruit.
Fizzy water with a squidge of lemon.
Having people ask me for directions (in French!) and knowing the answer. (Granted, most of the time it's directions to the Eiffel Tower, so not that hard, but still...)
Hanging out with my two French children (when they're behaving...) and teaching them about piggy-backs, Frog and Toad and Blueberries for Sal, and how to mix primary colors.
Figuring out how to Pinterest.
Staying on track with MyFitnessPal -- and getting excited to finally restart lifting in a few months!
Mostly, I need to work to keep it all in perspective. I'm living in my second foreign country in three years, in an environment where I'm not a native speaker, taking six difficult classes, and working two part-time jobs. It's okay not to have it all together sometimes. I just need to keep reminding myself.
