I was just thinking about how sometimes the smallest things can give us those random smiles today that really make a difference. This morning I saw a little kid trying to give his ice cream cone to a pigeon, and the pigeon just stared at him like "what is this cold thing?" It was such a pure moment that made me smile for no reason.
