Not just any food, usually the wrong food, pleasing to the eye and gives you a sense of indulging in a masterpiece. This type of food certainly puts a smile on your dial.
2. Free Stuff
Anything gave to you free whether it is from the free taste tester at the local supermarket or a surprise gift from someone you know, getting free stuff is a pleasant experience and always makes us smile.

It is such a happy occasion when you have a night out with friends. You get to recharge by catching up with friends, maybe have drinks and relax in good company. It's usually full of laughter, fun and can lead to all kinds of adventures.
5. A stroll on the beach
The ocean has so many amazing gifts to offer us. Much like space, it can make us feel like a small piece of a vast puzzle. It is so large we can never see the end of it from the shore, yet it brings so much peace and comfort.

Such a great feeling being appreciated at home whether it be by your family or your pet. The bigger the greeting, the bigger we smile, and a friendly reminder of why we worked hard all day.
