See if this gets any response.

Simple idea really. Type as little or as much as you want, or if you took a picture then feel free to share. It may be something stupid, it may be schadenfreude, it may be something you think no one other than yourself will appreciate. Just post something that has made you smile or cheered you up. It doesn't matter how random, big or small it may be, just that it's something that made your world - in whatever fashion - a better place.



For me? Walking into the house after a shitty day spent being mainly cold and the heating switching on the moment I walk into the lounge. A much appreciated welcome home Laughing

Pretty much the same as yours, when I do a "job" I get in at about half 9 in the morning and my golden labrador Bailey is always there waiting for me. He's always excited to see me and jumps up for a hug and a kiss which can be quite awkward considering he is 6 stone.

Thumbs Up

I really want a dog, not likely to have one for a fair few years yet being at uni and all Sad .....

I love reading all the great dog stories on here that get posted.

I gave it thought for a minute or so. I remembered how many times I smiled in the day and it reminded me how much of it is completely false, applied to a situation because in the social skills sense of the word it was the right thing to do.

Depressing though when you haven't genuinely smiled for yourself in the day.

The welcome from the dog is probably the probably the most genuine "pleased to see you" reaction you recieve in the day. Never gets old for them and I love that. Thumbs Up

I love my dog and can honustly say I know for a fact that he loves me back you can see it in his eyes and it's that kind of thing that makes me smile every day.


Smeg mate I've always had dogs and I couldn't imagine not having a dog it's like having a constant companion that won't give you shit. I have snakes and rabbits and stuff but it's the dog that I love the most. When the gf gets out of bed in the morning for uni the dog creeps in and cuddles up. Mate you need a dog lol.

As above really, I've only smiled today out of politeness, not through being properly happy about something :S


Usually it's taking on a project, and seeing it get closer to completion Smile like my 1/12th scale motorbikes, currently doing 2 RC30's an OW01 and a '98 R1

One of the few things that gives me a genuine smile (and maniac laughter) is riding my little RXS about.

There is something so fun about ragging the poor thing silly and hustling round corners at silly speeds (in the context of the machine) that makes me so happy.

@Carl, yeah I know I need a dog. Wouldn't want to get one though until I could do it justice though. Not so much the money side of things but I wouldn't want to leave him/her alone for long periods and have them get all lonely.

I only work 2 days a week so I spend a lot of my time with my dog I think he would become depressed if I started working any more lol. Its good that your waiting because it is a responsibility it's like having a kid. Bailey is quite clever if he needs a wee he goes into the bathroom and barks, if he wants water or food he slides the bowls about telling us he is hungry.

Not much makes me smile because I lack a common path to the smile muscles. Only thing that I think does very occasionally is if I'm having a reasonable day at work, sun is out and i'm driving through a really tiny village in the truck, the sort of place I really shouldn't be and can see the trailer bending round the corners in the mirrors and missing everything with perfect precision and forcing everyone to stop and make way...ahhh the power Very Happy then 5 minutes later I realise I like about 25 seconds a week of my job (5 a day).

Otherwise I would say it's seeing a really nice looking girl and getting a smile, unfortunately my smile usually makes it's appearance some time after the initial event Rolling Eyes

I broke up with my long term girlfriend last night (no, I'm not going to post an Aunty BCF thread) so I'm not feeling great at work today.

My boss made me a coffee in this mug

that made me smile

Yeah, mine used to do that, then they'd punch me in the pocket to see if any cash jangled, bastards used to cost me a fortune when I forgot to move it to another pocket... Laughing

it makes me smile when a girl lets you stick it in her thinking you like her, and you think to yourself 'little do you know...'

Hah. Seeing my brother skuff his foot through dog-shit in Croyden highstreet, spinning around and cussing, walked backwards into a lamp-post from which a pigeon dumped onto his head, all in the space of about three seconds. People from half a kilometer could hear him after that. Laughing Laughing Laughing

I find this very ironic Laughing

I have a Alsatian that is pathetically grateful to see me every day. My bike makes me smile but otherwise it's only when I see my friends that I only ever see every couple months. The ones I have to travel to see.

No matter what, regardless of how rubbish the day has been, a smile from either of the kids will bring one to me.

It is the purest pleasure there is.
