Let's play The Glad Game. Ladies, what are some of the little things in life that make you smile?

  • This

  • Waking up to find one of my animals in bed with me.

  • My boyfriend's cooking.

  • Happy guinea pig noises.

  • Walking into my bathroom after forgetting I cleaned it and being surprised at how awesome it looks.

  • A beautiful day when the weather forecast predicted thunderstorms.

  • That feel after a new haircut.

This is the BEST. I've been sleeping in past my alarm clock these last few days due to exhaustion but I can't wait to get back to waking up bright and early and getting to enjoy a whole morning of sunshine!

As a guy, I get this too, but mainly after I've had sex with someone.

That said, I know EXACTLY the feeling you're talking about.

  • when I get to the subway station and my train is just pulling up

  • this song. It's impossible for me to not smile and start grooving when it comes on. (edit: look at those fucking pants, omg! the whole outfits, actually)

  • houseplants

  • the moment when you wake up with someone cool in your bed and you weren't quite expecting it because your brain was just asleep but then it clicks and you're like "awww yeeeeea"

  • when I have to wait for the T and then when it shows up the doors stop right in front of where I'm standing

  • finding dope records at thrift stores

  • venturing into new neighborhoods and discovering really cool murals that have been there forever but you had no idea!

  • when it's been long enough since i've finished a piece of art that I can appreciate it instead of just hating what it made me go through to create it

  • when international friends sign on to skype

  • cough when people report comments that break the subreddit rules cough

  • When my dog climbs up in my lap to give me kisses
  • The first beautiful day that I step outside and realize it's spring
  • Washing all my sheets then crawling into bed while they're still warm from the dryer
  • Blowing bubbles
  • When babies laugh

I'm exactly the opposite! In the fall, I open the door and that first blast of crisp, cold air hits me in the face and all is right with the world. I carry this low level tension around all summer that just vanishes.

Valdovinos♀•

YES! Living in AZ I barely get any autumn/winter at all, but when I do I just bask in the glory.

The first beautiful day that I step outside and realize it's spring

I'm so happy it's just starting to be spring where I live! As in, this past weekend was all of these feels.

  • spooning on the bed with my giant dog.
  • seeing the flowers on my garden starting to poke up out of the ground this spring. Tulips are coming!
  • drinking hot tea while sitting on my porch in the morning.
  • good hair days.
  • seeing all the grass starting green back up after the first spring rain and a warm sunny afternoon.

spooning on the bed with my giant dog.

You're the big spoon or the little spoon?

lizzirdtoo♀•

I love when I get home and my kitty is excited to see me. He follows me around the house until I stop, pick him up, and give him snuggles.

I also love the feeling of a luxuriously soft yarn in my hands while I'm working on a project for somebody who is special to me.

And I love emails from my grandma because they are cheerful and newsy and generally include pictures of her cats.

curvy_lady_92♀•

Waking up to my long distance fiance.

When my dog lays on his back asking for a bellyrub, or the happy face he gets when playing in snow.

Getting an unexpected A on a paper.

When a friend calls just to see how i am.

Animals

Eating fried eggs

Cheese

Giant mugs of tea

Adventure Time

Crazy stormy days

Wearing ginormous earrings

Yo homes, if you put a space between the * and the text, the bulletpoint formats properly.

6
Rowsdowerr♀•

thank you! I was wondering how I was failing at that.

3
sehrah♀♥•

Additional tip: If you lay out the bulletpoints without an extra line between each one, they will be formatted in a tighter set of bulletpoints.

the difference between this

  • check

  • out

  • all

  • dis space

and this:

  • Aww yeah
  • Got me some
  • Compact bulletpoints!

Rowsdowerr♀•

Man, you're just dropping all kinds of formatting knowledge over here.

  • Spring rain

  • Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles. It makes me so happy around this time of year; that opening guitar almost brings tears to my eyes.

  • Holding a tiny baby

  • A fresh pen on blank paper

  • The damp, sweet smell of a flower shop

  • The 1993 movie version of "The Secret Garden"

As you may have guessed, I am in love with the springtime...

Peregrine21591♀•

What is this ... 'Springtime' you speak of? Is it some kind of annual peak in spring making?

3
Dynasty2201♂•

I have to say, maybe it's because I'm a bit of a wet blanket or something as a guy, but "Here Comes The Sun" could just well be the happiest and most beautiful song ever written.

I literally can't help but feel good about everything when it comes on, and like you say, that opening rift just screams joy.

Karma. It can be really great sometimes.

Watching my daughters play and realizing I'm raising two of the funniest people I've ever met.

When I catch my husband staring at me with a stupid grin on his face even after 11 years together.

5
sexrockandroll♀•

Cheese.

Cuddles with my SO.

Getting a level in my MMORPG that was particularly difficult.

Speaking with a colleague I respect about a work topic.

twyllflameheart♀•

Forehead kisses.

The stripes of sunlight on the wall early in the morning when I open my blinds.

Driving with the windows down.

Making the first mark in a new notebook.

twyllflameheart♀•

Another one, although arguably less relatable, since I have a chronic pain condition: the slow realization that, at that moment, you aren't in pain. A sort of beautiful normalcy.

5
sorabird♀•

The old lady I stepped back to let by the other day who said "age before beauty, huh?" with that adorable old lady smile. Foot rubs and cuddles. That mischievous smile my guy has. The fact that I can wear short sleeves again, kind of. The fact that the sweater I'm knitting is going to be beautiful and is coming along at an amazing pace.

4
[deleted]•

When my bunny demands cuddles by shoving his face under my hand.

Any thunder storm.

Warm sunny days that I can wear a sun dress.

My boyfriend cuddling me in between the snooze button.

The fact that your first thing was a picture of David Tennant made me smile as well.

4
captain_badger♀•

My dog shoves his head under my arm when he wants to be stroked, its so cute!

I'm adding that David Tennant picture to my list too.

MMO PVP gets me pretty excited and giggly.

My pets.

Shopping at Petsmart.

Shopping at Gamestop/Entertainmart.

Free samples on r/freebies.

Wearing my hair down without a breeze. No tangles for me!

Jeez, I'm easy to please.
