Try as I might, I can't help but smile when I see the first flowers bloom come springtime. My feelings grow more pronounced after a few weeks, when all the trees are lush with foliage and winter has gone on its weary way. On the opposite end, there's something about the crisp richness of fall that makes my heart sing. Perhaps it's the reprieve from the summer or just the general sense of relaxation in the air.

After Redditor craftbot9000 asked the online community, "What is something that never fails to make you smile?" people shared their stories.


"I feel so relaxed..."

Random but I feel like I'm in my best mood on a Saturday or Sunday eating brunch. I feel so relaxed and happy sipping on coffee and eating breakfast food.

"Never gets old."

My girlfriend telling me a "quick story" and then getting really excited about it and going into every back story that relates to it, for at least 15 minutes. Happens every day, and those moments are the most relaxed and happy I've ever been. Never gets old.

"I'm tired..."

Coming home to my cat. I'm tired, I'm hungry, but there she is. Practically jumping into my arms because she missed me.

When I did have a cat...

...my cat always made me beam the second I came home. He was always so happy!

"She has the most magical effect..."

My wife. She has the most magical effect on me every time I even think about her. She's so amazing.

"My life could be a trainwreck..."

My kids laughing.

My life could be a trainwreck, and just hearing my kids laughing and playing together is something that will never fail to crack a smile on my face.

This is sweet!

Some people are meant to be parents.

"She makes the world..."

My wife. She makes the world a little more sunny and my burdens lighter. Her laughing at my silly jokes fills an inner need I didn't know I had.

"It's so bright..."

Astronomer here! I'll often go out of my way to look up ISS passes at my house and set a timer to run out and see it if it's a good pass in the evening. It's so bright you can't miss it, and I'm always just amazed to think there are people up there! I know they can't see me, but I always wave anyway.

This is so wholesome.

Makes me want to pay more attention to the stars. Time to check out when the ISS passes by me!

"She's way smarter than me..."

When my sister asks me for advice about something. She's way smarter than me and always helped me along. Getting the chance to advise her on something I know more about than her gives me a high for days.

"Or trying really hard..."

Babies squealing with excitement. Or sleeping. Or trying really hard to roll over or crawl or grasp things.

Babies are awesome.

"I just can't help myself..."

When people kiss me on my cheek. I just can't help myself, the smile comes to my face. There's something so sweet and wholesome about a cheek kiss. And it makes me feel loved.

And there you have it.

There's always something out there to appreciate. You don't have to think long and hard either. It's often the little things.

What makes you smile? Feel free to tell us all about it in the comments below!

Threads User's Epic Rant Ripping MAGA Fans Who Now Claim They 'Always Had Doubts' About Trump Has The Internet Applauding

As prominent MAGA minions, like QAnon conspiracy peddler and former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have come out against MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, so too are some lesser known individuals.

Whether it's his Iran War, his continuing saga with the Epstein files, his utter failure to keep any of his campaign promises that they banked on helping them, or the abject incompetence of his hand-picked personnel, some members of MAGA are distancing themselves from the cult.

Trump Ripped For Somehow Making His 'Happy Mother's Day' Post All About Himself Without Any Mention Of Melania

President Donald Trump was criticized after he "honored" mothers on Mother's Day by attacking Democrats in a self-absorbed post on Truth Social, never mentioning his wife, First Lady Melania, who is the mother of his youngest son Barron.

Instead of acknowledging her and mothers around the country, Trump gloated about the economy and accused critics of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome," targeting Democrats and Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair he's been trying to push out of his administration.

Zach Galifianakis Expertly Lays Into Comedians Who Refuse To 'Challenge' Trump When He's A Guest On Their Podcasts

Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis called out comedians who have had President Donald Trump on their podcasts and didn't "challenge" him, noting that they've effectively abdicated their role by not making jokes at Trump's expense or pushing back against things he says.

Galifianakis made that argument during a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where host Conan O'Brien remarked that few, if any, people have challenged a sitting president the way Galifianakis did when he interviewed then-President Barack Obama in 2014 on his satirical series Between Two Ferns.

Sean Duffy Ripped After Encouraging Americans To Take 'Road Trips' As Gas Prices Continue To Soar

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was called out after he encouraged Americans to take "road trips" as gas prices continue to rise as a result of President Donald Trump's war in Iran.

Republicans have faced pressure from constituents nationwide to address the rising cost of living, but Americans are feeling pain at the pump now that the Iran war, which the Trump administration kicked off in late February, has prompted a spike in gas prices.
