Sometimes, life has a way of dimming the sparkle, doesn’t it? Even when I have my basic needs covered—food, water, shelter—there are days when being an adult feels like a total drag. But just when I think everything is upside down, life tosses some delightful moments my way, reminding me that not everything is bleak. Here are 25 things that made me smile today:

1. Coffee. It truly fuels my day!
2. Having a chat about biology with my son while my toddler daughter squealed “Boo-bies! Boo-bies!” all day long.
3. Our family’s stick-figure drawings that somehow always feature ridiculously long limbs and enormous smiles.
4. Adele’s voice. Hello, it’s me!
5. Spotting “LOVE” painted on a traffic mirror at the coffee shop, which made me pause and snap a photo, causing a bit of a traffic jam. Worth it!
6. Watching the driver behind me get annoyed while I captured that cute “LOVE” sign—oh, karma!
7. Irony. It never fails to make me chuckle.
8. Discovering bite marks in the butter, cheese, and pie—one day I’ll miss these quirky moments!
9. Hearing my husband pretend to be a candy-breathing dragon for the kids. Pure joy!
10. An elderly couple holding hands in the grocery store parking lot, showing that love is sweet at any age.

15. Opening the dishwasher to find it empty—yes, please!
16. My partner’s cozy, furry arms; they’re the best comfort!
17. My son’s term for bras: “booby casts.” I’m not correcting him!
18. Hilarious memes that perfectly blend sarcasm and profanity—I can’t get enough!
