What little thing makes you smile?

--Making people laugh at my stupid jokes and stories.
--Babies / kids smiling at me. :)
--The energy in the air before a big storm.
--The sound of wind sighing in tree branches.
--The first smell of the air in my own house when I open the door after coming back from work.
--The first hug from a missed loved one.
--Falling leaves in autumn.
--The first June bugs of the year, because they let me know summer is just around the corner.
--The first buds on the trees.
--Whenever I see a cardinal or an egret, my favorite birds.
--My cats closing their eyes when I pet them. :)
--Seeing any clearly happy couple or family. Whenever I see one of these, I think of Hemingway's "The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for..."

I could go on and on...though I'm often a cynic, the world really can be a wonderful place.
 
At Christmas, I have a little tree with baubles that I put on my coffee table. When the sun shines through the window and hits the baubles, they reflect over the wall. That made me smile each time it happened.

I love these in your list <3<3

When my little students write me notes and letters , saying they enjoy
my classes and always want me to be happy=D makes me smile a fuckton.
Teaching is so rewarding. I love my job.
 
Sunny days
British/Aussie accents
The way my cat meows
Snapping an awsome picture
Yosemite Nat. Park (although thats not really "little")
Eating cream of wheat

oh i could go on forever!
 
^Cream of Wheat is a hot cereal- sort of like oatmeal but made of wheat and its like a thin paste almost.....(i'm trying my best to describe it :))

Thiz-
I lived in Yosemite for 4 years when I was younger- do you live near there???
The memories of there always make me smile too.

More things that make me smile:
-my new sewing machine
-fuzzy buttons speak
-when my husbands hair is pulled back but messed up a little and he looks hot:) hahah
i can't keep from smiling like a cheeseball.
-crazy weather
-chubby babies
 
n3o - hmm its sort of a porridge and like ocean said, kind of like oatmeal but a paste.(personally i like it to be lumpy but at the same time watery haha)
Its hard to describe :P

ocean - oh man i wish i lived there! Im actually out in LA. I hope to actually live up there sometime in the near future as it is one of my favorite places to be. I might work up there and get to live with the workers like most do maybe for a summer and see how it goes (if they even hire me.)
 
When I make someone laugh (genuinely)... like not one of those fake laughs people do.

Also, coming home to my laptop and just laying in bed surfing the web, listening to music.
 
^^haha yeah my neighbor's kids:

little boy: "You're driving me nuts Auntie Ali!"

little girl (after me telling her she needed to go home) "Then you're not allowed to come to our house anymore!"
 
^The fatter the baby the better. Thin babies just creep me out.
God I looove babies!!! I love my niece! She makes me smile so much.
