1. Whenever I take the shuttle from Central Sq., I always try to get a copy of the Metro from the man passing them out (instead of the dispenser). I think he has to pass out a certain number before he can get off work (because they won't all fit in the dispenser), so it's much better for him to get copies from his pile rather than the dispenser. Sometimes people, to be antisocial, will just get it from the dispenser even though he will hand it to you to make your life just a little bit easier. I think whenever I go to get the paper from him he's just a little bit happier, and he always smiles at me and says, "Thank you mama!"
I'm not really sure what to make of the "mama" title but I don't think it's derogatory! In fact, I rather like it :)
2. On my way to the building I work in (behind the HMS Quad), as I climb up the steps, the scent of bacon wafts under my nose. SMELLS SO GOOD. That definitely cheers me up. Even if I'm not eating it, smelling bacon will make me happy too!
3. Holding the door for strangers, especially those that are pushing big carts (food, mail, packages, water, etc) makes me feel good about myself. And I feel extra happy when they give me a big smile and I smile back at them!
4. Unexpected IMs from fun people. And just as good, if not better, ridiculously long online conversations with those I talk to every day for hours but never run out of things to talk about. (AC & BN!)
It's the little things in life that cheer me up :)
