What made you SMILE today?
A thread to post anything that put a smile on your face today. Maybe something that happened to you, an interaction you had, maybe something you saw or heard, a video clip. Just about anything good, that could be an encouragement to someone else and make them smile too.
(Note: I searched and checked the Non-Cigar category back a few years, and did not see anything similar.)

I'll start:
My daughter (who's getting divorced and now living on her own) made $900 in one shift last night. That's almost half her monthly rent.

I’ll go. Despite this being a year my kids get to spend Christmas and the first half of the holidays with their mother, my daughter called and asked if they could come over to my house pretty early on Christmas morning. Honestly, it was the most depressing Christmas I’ve ever had, but her call brightened up my entire world.

Might be the nicest thing anyone said to me all year.

Got to spend Christmas week with my daughter and her husband's family. No babies but there were 6 dogs. 3 black labs, 2 mutts, any my wife's little Rescue Pomeranian. The smallest lead the pack outside. I was afraid she would get eaten

Video call with my grandchildren tonight. The little one finally called me Granpoppie. First it was Doppie, then Poppie, now she says the whole thing. Granpoppie. I'm smiling.

My GGGGrandfather, John W. Runkle, on the PA Monument at Gettysburg, a Private in Company I,151st PVI, which fought nobly on the first day of the battle, July 1, 1863.
At Gettysburg, they won, under the brave M'Farland, an imperishable fame. They defended the left front of the First Corps against vastly superior numbers; covered its retreat against the overwhelming masses of the enemy at the Seminary, west of the town, and enabled me, by their determined resistance, to withdraw the corps in comparative safety. This was on the first day. In the crowning charge of the third day of the battle, the shattered remnants of the One Hundred and Fifty-first Pennsylvania, with the Twentieth New York State Militia [alternate name of 80th New York], flung themselves upon the front of the rebel column, and drove it from the shelter of a slashing in which it had taken shelter from a flank attack of the Vermont troops. I can never forget the services rendered me by this regiment, directed by the gallantry and genius of M'Farland. I believe they saved the First Corps, and were among the chief instruments to save the Army of the Potomac, and the country from unimaginable disaster.
