Sometimes a picture makes you feel better about your day without actually improving anything. Maybe you still have the same pile of laundry waiting for you, but at least you didn’t have that happen.

That’s the strange comfort of looking at other people’s fails. I feel bad for them, obviously. I hope everything worked out. But there’s also a tiny part of me taking inventory of my own surroundings and thinking, “Okay, things could be worse.” It’s probably the closest I’ll come to practicing gratitude today.

These pictures capture days that took a turn, sometimes in ways you couldn’t have planned if you tried. You can laugh because you’re safely on this side of the screen. You may also want to check that nothing is leaking behind you.
