Random things that always make you smile

About once a week, while driving to work, I see the same guy.  He drives a Chevy Chevette (at least I think that's what it is) that is probably from the early 80's.  He's a big guy - probably like 6'5.  And goofy looking.  He looks like a comedian but I cant think of his name.  Receding hairline, frizzy hair, big black rimmed glasses.  Anyway... his license plate is "Playboy"  It just makes me smile every time I see him.  
Any random things that make you all warm and fuzzy inside?

    Our huge plaza at my corner has a mattress store in it.  Actually they have 2.  But the one has a woman that stands on the corner of the plaza everyday, rain or shine, wearing a sign for the store.  She must wear an ipod because she always smiling and singing and waving to all the cars, regardless of the weather.  The only time I haven't seen her is when it was 10 degrees outside.  But she always makes me smile and I always wave at her.

    Children love my car. 9 times out of 10 when a little kid sees me driving, whether they are on the sidewalk or in another car, they will get all excited and wave at me enthusiastically. It's really cute and makes me smile. (And I always wave back too.)

    Men pushing strollers or sporting baby slings.

    The way my dog's curly tail uncurls when he sleeps.

    That's all I can think of for now.

    I also love coming home and being surprised with a clean house.  Now, I think this has happened once in the 5 years we've lived together, but it for sure WOULD make me smile.

    The kids I work with when I volunteer on the oncology floor of the children's hospital.  They're so sick, but they have the best spirit.  They're the reason I want to become a pediatric oncologist.

    Happy anniversaery drama!

    Fish I was just coming back to write about people holding doors.  Really any random acts of kindness make me smile.  I also love when a little old person can't reach on item on the shelf and some random shopped helps them.

    When I call my sister and I can hear my 4 year old nephew in the background asking to talk to me.  He tells me all about his day or whatever is going on at the moment and it melts my heart.

    Last year, the lights in downtown Cleveland had a huge section that was ALL blue LED lights.  And you couldn't not look at it, because you had to stare at it to drive down one of the main streets.  It was awful.  So rediculously hard on the eyes.

    My cousins. They are ages 22 to 4 months old. They always say or do something funny and/or adorable.

    FI dancing. He's unintentionally funny.

    Mexican food. Damn, I love Mexican food!

    The way my dog Lobo makes noises when he's dreaming.

    When I get random texts/FB posts from friends I might not have talked to in a while

    When Lucas laughs really really hard. He has this high pitch laugh that doesn't match his 6'5" stature that only comes out when he's laughing really hard. It's almost impossible not to smile when he does that.

    My future nieces and nephews.  They were watching Frosty the Snowman the other day.  The oldest niece (5 years old) knows all of the words to the whole cartoon.  The middle nephew was totally engrossed in the movie the whole time.  He sat on the couch sharing a blanket with me and just stared at the TV.  Love love love those kids like they are my own blood.

    I want him.

    Also, my friend on FB just posted a picture of her adorable baby is a snow suit, and it's making my ovaries do somersaults.

    Ditto on the Christmas lights--they make me feel like a little kid again, especially since there's snow on the ground now.

    My dog does this, too. He barks in his sleep (without opening his mouth, it's adorable) and his feet are running. I always like to cheer him on and hope that he's not dreaming about chasing the cat!

    My grandson--he has the prettiest blue eyes and has mastered the "deer-in-the-headlights" look.

    When my 80 pound dog tries to play with my 7 pound cats.  She just noses them all over the place, and the cats let her.
