You find out a lame show like the Real Gilligan's Island is sailing into its second season, while the funniest show on television, Arrested Development, hasn't even been renewed for next year? Save Arrested Development!
Buying a cute pair of shoes REALLY is a cure for the blues?
You're feeling pretty good about yourself and someone has the nerve to say to you, "Are you okay? You look kinda (tired, sick, messy, enter mad libs insult here)
A comment someone makes gives you a glimpse of how they see you, and you are pleasantly surprised by the discovery?
You get exactly what you need to brighten your day? Whether it's a three hour, great conversation, coffee date with a dear friend, a humorous IM conversation with a sister or long distance friend, or fun banter with an acquaintance in a coffee line.
You notice that visiting another country or city shows you a different side of yourself?
You laugh and laugh over the memory of your botched attempt to play The Entertainer at a piano recital when you were twelve? You lost your way and, not knowing what to do, you played the same bit over and over again until, red-faced and burning with humiliation, you decided to end it. Not funny at the moment, hilarious now.
Your parents sacrificed more than you realized over the years?
The radio plays a string of your favorite songs of all time, and you feel as though you were destined to be in the car at that exact time so you wouldn't miss it?
You offer to help what looks like lost visitors on a college campus, and one of them asks you if you are a student there? When you answer no, he looks you over, lets out a rude bark of a laugh and and says, "I was just being nice." ( you respond that, hey, you could be a grad student, thank you very much)
You realize that your life is not, and never will be, the textbook case for happiness? And you think, "That's cool."
