What little thing makes you smile?

^ Oh dear god yes, n3o! <3

I work on the 12th floor of a city building, and (luckily) have a desk right next to the window, that faces west (for you Melbournites, I can see Etihad stadium from my window). I get THE most magnificent sunsets, and every single afternoon i stop and appreciate the beauty. I'm also chuffed that I've pointed it out to a few people who had never noticed it before, and now, every sunset we're in the office, we stand together and look at it. :) Someone thanked me for pointing it out to them - it was a little bit of soul-food for me <3

Something more specific to my near future is making me smile - i'm having drugfukkedrockstar and her hubby will_rave over for dinner and drinks on saturday night. There will be food, wine, sitting by the fire outside and cheesecake! I'm going to buy some marshmallows to toast on the fire too. :) So excited!
 
Children crying( I always have to laugh, while my friends get so angry, because it's so loud )
Children laughing/ plaing/talking(they talk weiiiiirdddd, seriously)/ children reacting to any crazy face expression I present them.

And what I' ve recently noticed is that I *always* smile when I do something stupid, like falling down the stairs, crashing against a door, miss something,....or anything else that looks ridiculous in public whereas in the past my face would turn immediately red and I'd get very unconfident and think permanently about what happened/ how many people saw it, blah..... don't care anymore and just s m i l e .:)

I guess I can finally laugh at myself ha =D
 
The smell of oyster beds

The smell of motul when I start my dirtbike.

My neighbors 5yr old son showing up at my house with his motocross gear on, helmet and all to asked me what I'm doing. All I can say is "about to ride. What are you doing?"

Stopping for a rest at the top of a mountain.

The natural high after a long days ride.

A nice plate of sushi

Seeing people around me improving their lives.

Seeing my friend Megan looking so hot and happy after all she has been thru with addiction.

That last one actually brings a tear to my eye and is so inspirational to me! She has been thru so much! I really love that girl!
 
When I'm only halfway through a shift at work and getting yelled at by my boss.....but all I can do is smile becaue of my perfect benzo/opiate ratio that is kicking in at the same moment he started yelling. Good times :)
 
Hugging and smelling PiggyWiggy.

Seeing old people holding hands
That really happy giggle that kids do when they get something cool like ice cream
That sloppy adoring look that my dogs give me when I give them treats
My husband playing WoW (cause I know that's when he's the happiest)
The Cars movies or either of the Happy Feet movies. I could have the shittiest day in the world and five minutes of any of those movies changes my mood completely.
 
When I'm trying to kiss my girlfriend in bed, but her long hair gets in the way from all the mess we made, and we both laugh.
 
cats (especially when i see random ones on my street lol)
animals
overcast skies
laying in the grass
finding money when i clean
finding a timeless vintage/thrift item at a thrift store that's in my size
picking locks on skyrim and getting it right on the first try lol
