What makes you smile?

Tweet

I wanted to put "What makes you happy" as the title but I guess for a lot of us, HAPPY is such a big word. But my question technically means the same, for how can you smile, at least genuinely, without being happy? So what makes you happy that it makes you smile? What things or people that delight you? That you find amusing perhaps? I can't help but smile when... 1. ...I see an elderly (married) couple holding hands. It's inspiring how they've weathered the years and still held on to each other until they grew gray hairs. 2. ...I hear my nephews and nieces talk about the darnest things. I am amazed about a child's wisdom and how much we can actually learn from them. 3. ...when I shop for a new pair of shoes or a bag. C'mon, ladies, don't you just love it?! :) 4. ...when my husband holds my hand and says, "Thank you" after having our meal. He never fails to compliment my cooking. Even the simplest dishes! 5. ...when I think about how simple life was when I was younger. I recall loving the rain, walking to school, camping as a girl scout, eating dirty ice cream, watching last full shows of Jackie Chan movies with my entire family, picnicking at the beach on weekends (used to be a normal thing when I was younger), waking up to the music of Whitney Houston, Cindy Lauper, Lionel Richie, Spandau Ballet, Elton John, Barry Manilow, and believe it or not, Menudo! Wow! There are so many other things but I have to prepare breakfast! So tell me, what makes YOU smile? :)
