hi. i'm trying to make a list of the stupid little things that make people smile (nothing si/ed/su related, please). just stuff that makes you happy to think about, that maybe you wouldn't think of as good otherwise.
here's my contribution

mixer taps (otherwise water is always way to hot or way to cold, mixter taps are soo cool)

frogs

lava lamps

punched holes (collect all the hole punchings in the bottom of your hole punch - i have a big box now, so fun)

new socks

hugsxx

Pedestrian crossings - especially when they turn green just as I arrive

The scrunchy noise of walking through autumn leaves

Frost

Rainbows

Hearing the postman

Coffee!

Getting email /snail mail/ text messages / pms when you werent expecting it

Someone telling you unexpectedly they care / that they love you

hugs

having someone play with my hair

old photos (sometimes they have the opposite effect though, depending on my mood)

when babies smile at you

shopping and coming home with loads of bags to look through

re - organising my wardobe / dressing table (you always find something you forgot you had)

the crunchy sound snow makes when you walk through it

watching the rain when you're inside you car or house, it makes you feel safe

candles

brightly coulored socks

writing poetry

* listening to the rain outside
* phoning someone
* laughter
* birds squabbling
* sitting very still on the bench and watching a rat come out very timidly and start eating the crumbs by my feet
* teaching someone something new
* learning something new
* postcards
