Today, like any other day, we need to be uplifted.
Thankfully, the Internet is always there for you.
Wholesome pictures of cute animals and kind human beings can help you pay it forward. Feeling good, in turn, can help you make others feel good. Frankly, we don’t deserve it. We’ve been mean to others, ourselves, and the planet at large. But, it’s important to be positive. The only way to do that is to follow the examples of the humans below.
I’m currently reading a book on “Learned Optimism,” and while I’m not sure looking at photos of nice things can help in the fight against being a pessimist, I do believe the photos can give you hope for humanity.
I hope you enjoy your day.
Here are some wholesome posts to make your day a little brighter whether you deserve that or not:
