Sometimes, life has a way of draining the happiness right out of us, doesn’t it? Even when my basic needs—food, water, shelter—are met, the grind of adulting can be a real drag. But just when everything feels upside down and bleak, there are always those little gems that pop up to remind me that life isn’t all bad. Here are 25 moments that brought a smile to my face today:
- Coffee—I can’t function without it.
- Explaining biology to my son while my 2-year-old daughter shouted “Testicles!” for hours.
- Our family’s stick-figure doodles, complete with ridiculously long limbs and enormous grins—accurate depictions if you ask me.
- Adele’s voice—there’s just something about it.
- Spotting “LOVE” painted with shoe polish on a traffic mirror at the coffee drive-thru; I even paused to snap a picture, causing a backup.
- The person behind me was less than thrilled, but hey, karma’s a friend of mine.
- Irony—it always brings me joy.
- The telltale bite marks in the butter, cheese, and apple pie. One day, I’ll miss these moments and might have to recreate them myself.
- Hearing my husband pretend to be a dragon who breathes candy, not fire, for the kids.
- An elderly couple holding hands in the grocery store parking lot; whether for love or support, it’s adorable.

- Opening an empty dishwasher—pure bliss.
- Snuggling into my husband’s furry arms; they’re just comforting.
