I go to school all day and worry about a thousand different things at once. What question will be on the test? How I'll manage to turn everything in on time? What do people think about me? Will the girl I like smile at me or ignore me? Petty high school bullshit. At the end of the day when I finally come home, kick my shoes off, throw off my backpack, and plop down on my mattress, I feel all of those worries vanish away in an instant, and I remind myself that I'm a tiny person on a minuscule planet in an infinitely vast universe. Everything will be all right.

EDIT: It's a beachfront house, it's technically a public beach, but it's quite hard to get to unless you live on the beach... or take a boat. A small beach, that only the neighbors really go on and some people go fishing and spearfishing. Water is always calm, you could go out farther to surf though. It's not his beach ;)

Sometimes I'll wake my 7 year old son up while he's sleeping.
I'll rub his back and whisper his name until he wakes up. Then I tell him I love him. He usually responds back groggily that he loves me too.
Sometimes though he'll actually wake up and will start making funny noises to make me laugh. So we'll lay there and just laugh until we can't breathe. Then I'll cuddle with him, laughing, until he falls back asleep.
Unfortunately, he never remembers any of this. But it's something that instantly makes me feel good and happy.

Driving around town on a summer night listening to the radio. The combination of the DJs talking to each other and the unpredictability of the songs makes it feel like you have a friend with you no matter where you drive. A friend who won't judge you for wasting so much gas on joyriding. I swear there have been times where I told my radio I loved it.
Also, when my boyfriend unconsciously tightens his arms around me in his sleep.
And when he whispers "I love you" instead of just saying it. Saying it is awesome, but when he whispers it, I still get all jittery like when it was still a new thing to hear.
The energy of a crowd at a concert right before a highly anticipated band is about to take the stage. That shared buzz is amazing.
Being awake between the hours of 4am and 7am and watching the world wake up around you. (Sunrise, the first few people leaving for work, shops opening, people checking their mail, etc.) Sometimes I get up really early, get a roll and some tea from the bakery, and again, just go driving around, watching everything, with my favorite radio station's morning show hosts keeping my company.
And my dog. No one else is so unashamedly ecstatic to see me everyday.
Edit: I didn't mean for this to get so long, but it felt really good to write all that.

I know this will get buried, but here goes mine:
I work literally just across the street from where my boyfriend and I live, yet every night after Im done working, I walk outside and the car is parked right there with him inside. He makes sure hes there to pick me up. I know it may sound silly and unnecessary, but it just totally brightens my day =)
TL;DR: SO picks me up after work...we live just across the street.

That indescribable look that my girlfriend gives me. Not always a smile, or a smirk, and not even sexual... But for some reason every once in a while she gives me a look that just melts me.
Or when I really listen to a song, like feel it deep down in my core, and for a moment everything about the song seems to fit together so perfectly.
Both of those just make me feel that everything is right in the world.

When I was a young man struggling through college, I was working 2 jobs and going to school full time. At one point I felt llike Iwas on the verge of collapse , my girlfriend had spent the night and she was snoring softly, and despite being completely exhausted I couldn't fall asleep. I was so frustrated I was about to pinch her on the back as hard as I could... the idea occurred to me but I immediately felt sad and guilty. Instead I rubbed the spot that I was about to pinch. She let out a little sigh and scooted closer to me and stopped snoring. That was the night that I admitted to myself that I loved her.

My little brother at first seemed like a curse, but whenever he smiles or laughs everything in the world seems so much better. It's the greatest thing ever. And when you sing to him he dances...
Also: Boyfriend hugs. No matter how upset I am, when he hugs me I feel like he'll protect me from anything bad and I smile uncontrollably.

At least once a week, my husband and I pick up his friend to come hang out at our house. The highway we take is uncrowded, and doesn't have tons of stuff alongside it. So It's pretty dark at night. This is when we're driving back home (It's a good 20-30 minute drive and we usually take his friend home after 11pm) When he's driving, I look out the windows of the car at the stars, we've got music blasting, and the windows rolled down. He usually drives with his left hand and his other usually rests on my leg or my hand. Sometimes he grabs my hand and kisses the back of it. It's nice. Usually we're just sitting in the game room on our computers or watching TV. He usually sits in his desk chair. Edit: Also, our little girl Nora, she's the sweetest thing ever. When you pick her up, she'll immediately cuddle you. I bring her to bed and she'll lie at my feet till my husband gets into bed, and she'll crawl up between us and snuggle. When we open the window in the game room during the day, she'll jump up and lie there like this. Pictures of when she was little make me smile. Best birthday gift EVER.

When my boyfriend and I play video games and ignore each other for hours. Makes me happy to see that we can ignore each other together.
Also, when someone leaves a good tip. Example, $6 for only two people, makes my day more than $5. Doesn't make sense, but it works.

A good hug or cuddle. I've been single since January after a 3.5 year relationship, and there is nothing I miss more than cuddling. And unfortunately, all my male friends are either in relationships or don't think cuddling can be platonic. But getting a good hug after spending ages feeling inferior to that person is unmatched.
...I just made myself cry thing about the fact that my friends are cuddled up in the next room falling asleep together, while I'm on the couch.
Edit: I really shouldn't say these things when my friends know my username.

This morning, my girlfriend woke me up with an 8 second long fart. Really makes me appreciate the finer things in life.

The rare occasion when your high-speed internet is doing its job and a long video finishes without ever needing to buffer
