Those little gems

The 'things that shit me' thread kinda perceives us as a bunch of people forever complaining.
So here's the opposite. What are those little things that make you happy for 5 minutes?
Nothing life changing, just those things that make you smile.

E.G.1: A brand new pair of socks. SO SOFT, you feel like you are walking on air
E.G 2: Waking up and looking at your alarm clock and realising you have another hour until you need to get out of bed

i actually adore a new pair of socks, esp if they have some special technology like air-dryor dry-fit or something idek LOL
and cleaning my laptop(s)/pc/phone and making them look gorgeous and brand new makes me feel so good LOL i just like clean technology and it breaks my heart seeing people not take care of their tech D:

and uhhhh having a really nice chicken burger/cheeseburger LOL im not an intense foodie but good food makes me go  ;D ;D ;D

Playing with my plush dinosaur. It helps reduce my stress levels.
Sliding the handle bar next to stairs. It proves i'm still a kid at hear ;D.
Talking to my family. It reminds me what is important in life.
Writing three things to be grateful in the morning. It shows me that life is still living.

Equally, when it's sunny, and the clouds emerge.

Good idea, Prickles!

Things that make me smile:
- children who are super cooperative at the dentist (People who have met me personally will know why I say this.)
- accomplishing a tiny personal goal for something you've failed at multiple times before e.g. throwing trash successfully into the bin with basketball throws from your seat when bored, but having a success rate of 20%.
- when you get home from a long day at school/ work/ university (mixed with mini-relief)

Why does no one get that I genuinely like overcast, cold weather better than so-called "perfect" (sunny, 20s) weather? :(  Cool shade and reduced brightness are such a kind relief.

But yeah, excellent thread, prickles, even if your weather choices are unwise. ;)
