-Smiling so much it hurts
-When a friend at work has a reputation for catching cracked eggs you've missed drops an entire carton and breaks them.
-Long hugs
-Singing like no one is listening
-Dancing like a fool
-Wandering around outside
-Climbing trees
-Icecream
-Making stupid videos with your friends, then laughing about them later.
