I recently went to a camp that owned a cat, and it jumped up on my shoulders and purred. :)

So I was walking and talking to my best friend about how I have to do stupid drivers Ed over summer, and she said "Maybe you'll get a new best friend. Actually, don't because that would be sad for me." This made me so happy because that's the first time she's referred to us as best friends and now I feel like I can officially say we're best friends like I've wanted to for so long. I've been so worried she doesn't think I'm her best friend, but now that I know she does I feel great.

This is probably pretty silly.... but my teenage daughter with mild/moderate autism has a compulsion to rock back and forth. I imagine it is very soothing to her. We have a recliner that she sits in everyday. She rocks to and fro in an aggressive manor. Well about a week ago the recliner got stuck in the reclining position and she could no longer rock. It broke my heart because I would look over and see her sitting on our very stationary couch rocking herself.
Unfortunately as a single mother of 3 (2 of which are autistic) I didn't have the funds to replace it. So, I had my ex ( who is quite handy) take a look at it, but to no avail..... it was downright stuck.
Several days later I couldn't stand to watch her rocking herself any longer. I could see the anxiety mounting in her eyes. So I got down with a flashlight underneath the chair and had her help me by attempting to fold the chair back in over and over so that I could determine what was going on. Well I finally figured out that one of the springs got dislodged and she was able to fold it back down. But the look on her face when it went down was pure relief and joy! Those are rare moments for her. She was so happy she danced around and gave me a high five ( she never does things like that!!!) As weird as it sounds, it was a real bonding moment for us.

At every family gathering, my 2 year old nephew who's very shy and doesn't move away from his mom, gets very excited to see me.
He drags me closer to his mom & then proceeds to show me his favourite car toy and then we talk about dinosaurs and zebras for the rest of the time :)

My 5yo son is obsessed with orange juice. He likes it when we call one of his favourites "dinosaur juice" and recently I bought him one when he was in bed to surprise him the next say. When he found it in the fridge, he took it out, ran up to me and gave me the biggest hug he's ever given me and told me he loved me so much for buying him dinosaur juice. I've been going through a tough time mentally lately so to hear that really made my day. Just a small gesture of orange juice was the best thing in the world to that beauty 😍

I was having a really shitty day. Went to the bakery across the street to get a hot chocolate. My neighbour who works there saw that I had been crying and gave me the hot chocolate for free, saying "What are neighbours for?" She also tried to cheer me up with little jokes. We don't really know each other, so that was a really sweet thing to do ♥️

I have an older, large dog (Shar pei/ridgeback mix) and normally when I pick her up she just sits stiff in my arms as if unsure what's happening. The other day I came home after being gone all day and picked her up because she was jumping around me. For the first time, she actually snuggled into me when I did it.

This is pretty insignificant but when I was on the road I saw a bit of painting on the walls which looked like one of an incomplete pride flag. It kind of made me happy even though I knew it wasn’t really a pride flag

Simply sitting outside on my back patio. Everything is so green and beautiful. There’s something very therapeutic about relaxing outside enjoying nature.

There's a robin's nest in the bushes outside of my apartment window. I noticed that a male and female were feathering their nest one day and now I see that mama bird is sitting on her eggs. She only leaves to get some food and when I'm outside she waits for me to walk by before flying back to her nest in the bushes. I'm very protective of them and check on them every day! They make me so happy!

I was biking and this boy, maybe 6th or 7th grade, presses the crosswalk button for me because I was struggling. Nothing was said, he was with his friends and just did it.

I have a new dog who we adopted about two months ago- she's still settling in and getting used to us so sometimes we think she likes us and sometimes we think she couldn't care less. Recently, though, she's changed her behavior- she always lays on the foot of the bed and watches us get ready to go to sleep. Now, when I get in bed, she gets up and comes up to the pillows, where I'm sitting, and curls up against me. She sometimes lays her head against my leg. I think she's starting to feel like we're "her" people and to understand that she's here for good.

There's this comic shop I go to pretty regularly, and they always have a sign on the door to make sure it shuts so the cats don't escape. I had never seen the cats before, but one fateful yesterday, while I was buying my Iron Man's, I saw one! It was really cute and tried to eat my mom.

I guess you can say it made me happy, but I told one of my friends that I have had a crush on one of our classmates for a while and it felt like a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders and I just felt happier since then. Yk?

My daughter told me she is proud of me. I don't know why it made me cry. I am always telling her how special she is and how proud I am of her. She said it the other day when I was feeling down and it was like the best medicine ever.

The unbridled joy of my German Shepherd staring down a very large bull in the field behind out house. Didn't bark, didn't growl, but they stared at each other for an hour. It made him happy. So it made me happy...
