Sometimes we take for granted the simple things in life and the slightest of gestures that make your heart warm. Over 40 different people happily told me what gives them the warm fuzzy's and here are the results:
1. "When someone I don't talk to much texts me, or even tags me in something on Facebook that reminds them of me! Oh and the reaction from my dogs when I walk in the door after a week of not seeing them"-Amanda M.
2. "Driving in my car ... listening to a great song. And paying attention to the world. I sat and watched birds flying in a group yesterday and it was like their movement was synchronized with the song. It was awesome. And when dad doesn't take my salted almonds." -Andrea R.

7. "Watching a daddy hold a baby. "-Jennifer M.

9. "Dogs. Puppies. Animals. The Blues doing activities with kids with cancer."-Julia W.

The world can be cruel, and the daily hustle and bustle can become monotonous, but it's the simple things that keep us going and the littlest acts of kindness that have the biggest impact on someone's life sometimes. Be kind always and remember that there is good in the world.
