That, my dear, looks like an English Robin. Scientific research has shown that it is has special glands beneath its feathers that produce concentrated cuteness ;).

It's my background now as well! Thanks <3

EDIT: Wait, that's definitely not an English Robin! It looks like some kind of warbler, I think. I'll check and get back to you... It is still deadly cute though ;)

SO SO SO True....random acts of kindness make me smile like a freak, and I find that often they even make me tear (secretly) for a second only....hehe...<3<3 Sometimes I wish more people would pay attention to the positives rather than the negatives in life...its funny how one random act of kindness can erase several annoyances during the day. i love this thread.



If you've ever seen Evan Almighty... "God" in the movie makes the word "ARK" stand for one Act of Random Kindness... and that is the way to change the world <3 True too
 
My kitty likes to stick her paws out in the gap between the door to my apartment and the floor whenever somebody walks by or I come home. I know at least a few neighbors love it when they walk by in the hallway and they play with her when she does it. It's not uncommon for me to see fingers underneath the door trying to summon kitteh. It makes me smile that she makes other people smile when she does this. :)
 
That is SO cute!!! Made me smile just imagining it :D

I was the fattest baby ever.

I have no idea what I looked like as a baby because there aren't any photos...
I was 4th out of 5 kids and I guess by the time they got to me they were over taking baby photos...then when my little brother was born they got a new camera so there are a billion baby photos of him 8)

Anyway, back on topic!

Watching my partner take a shower makes me smile, he is so damn sexy :D
I always end up jumping in with him =D

Also, doing a big/arduous job in the garden and stepping back at the end to see how good it looks. That makes me smile :)
 
Random acts of kindness.

The way the sun hits the ocean in the West just before it sets.

The way my love smiles the most heartwarming smile I've ever known, and knowing it's only for me.

Having a good laugh with my eccentric, crazy, alcoholic father, if only for that fact that I've inherited most of my empathic qualities from him in some way or another, even if he is out of his mind.

Getting to feel what it's like to be a playful cat, because that's the only way I'll play with him. I like him to feel like we're one in the same, albeit a minor (hehe) size difference. I think that's why he turned out so cool.

Whenever I see an animal of ANY species. There's something so pure and genuine about the way every other creature on this planet goes about life, seems to make so much more sense than the way we've been living our lives. I particularly like the fennec fox, fuck it I'll post a pic their so darn cute.

I'm forgetting a bunch, but I'm usually in a terminal despair kind of mood, so I guess this is a step forward.

I think you have special glands beneath your plumage that produce concentrated cuteness!

that makes me smile too! (well... my partner, not yours =D )

All the wives in my husband's unit got one white rose from my husband's 1SG as a thank you for supporting our husbands, that made me happy.

My neighbor took my trash cans out to the curb for me.

A few weeks ago, ny neighbor's husband shoveled 6 inches of snow from my driveway, at 5 am, and even put salt down. I <3 my neighbors. If only their daughter wasn't so evil...

edit: maybe this was supposed to be a "what makes you smile" in general topic, but i felt like being specific... :)
 
Girlfriend, cute little thing. Making someone laugh, always fills me with joy.
 
seeing people dancing in public.

YES!! And also, when people are singing in public. Not like, fully going for it loud in-your-face singing. But just walking along, maybe browsing some shops, quietly singing to themselves. I like that :)
 
^^ totally agreein on that one!

alot of other things make me smile more so... but a clean bong is satisfying :)

(i wish i could have a cone right now, but im so sick i tink i would just cough my lungs up it sucks!)
 
seeing people dancing in public.

Yes! I saw something that had me grinning like an idiot all day last week.

I was walking along southbank (Melbourne) and there was a busker playing music. It was a busy day and the place was swarming with people in a rush, going about their business. But in front of him, in the middle of this huge pavillion, was a little girl in a red dress dancing - spinning from side to side of the pavillion, jumping, waving her arms around - all with a huge smile on her face. It was just fantastic, this flash of red with her huge smile on her face so joyful amongst all these businesspeople dressed in grey.

I really wanted to video her but I thought that would probably seem a little creepy.
 
Getting an e-mail from my wife, with pictures of my two month old who's just starting to smile. I left eleven days before she was born, so any picture makes me smile.
 
^^ aw man, that would make anyone smile. where did you leave to (if you don't mind)?

what makes me smile...
getting my drum kit re-skinned and tuned. you have no idea how happy this makes me..
Im sure fellow musicians will agree, righttt?
