Something that made you smile recently?

Long story short:
It was raining this afternoon and I was waiting for the rain to go by outside a store. A lady (might be the owner of the store) came out for a cigarette and she started speaking to me in Russian (I think). I couldn't understand her, so she left. After a minute or two, she came back with an umbrella and with her grandson who translated for her. At first, I didn't really want to take the umbrella because of the way that I was raised, that I was to not accept favors from strangers. I ended up taking the umbrella at the end because she told me that I can always bring it back since the store closes at 8pm and that she didn't want me to get wet in this weather.

On my way back home, I kind of have this warm and fuzzy feeling. I was a complete stranger to her and although the umbrella doesn't worth much, but her act of kindness really touched me. That warm and fuzzy feeling made me more happier than when I finally got that pair of shoes that I've ever wanted.

So, when was the last time something (or someone) made you smile from the heart?

[quote=Laviathan]just measured something and was very happy with the length [/quote]

Was it the length your car can go on a full tank of gas? That certainly has the potential to make me happy as well.

Saw Snovvy's old post:

'Well, if the Earth is billions of years old, why is it only 2012?

Checkmate, atheists.'

Made me lol for a lil' bit.

I decided to go to the local park and go on the swings for awhile. Just watching the trees and scenery around me made me just go 'Ahh'.
or when it was pouring for a minute this morning, I decided to run a lap and it felt so good.
