In a world full of doom and gloom, bad news and sad news, sometimes you just want to see nice, cute things. Wholesome memes and pictures, if you would.
And that’s exactly where a list like this comes in. Even if you’re feeling a little blue, these pictures may just put a smile on your face and warm your heart a little.
RELATED STORIES
“My husband’s aunt is a nun and they rescued this lost pup, LOOK AT HIS SMILE.”
I don’t know why, but it’s always so cool seeing nuns do thing. Probably because you never really see them in real life (except for, like, evil nuns in TV shows). Everything about this is so wholesome!
“I mentioned in passing how much I missed cake and imagine my surprise when I came home to this when we don’t even have an oven! My sister made this and apparently steamed it on the stove top.”
There’s nothing better than when a loved one surprises you with something that’ll make you feel better, even if you weren’t that down to begin with.
“It’s the little things.”
It’s like I always say, you never know how much of an impact your actions can have on other people. Taking the time for compassion can make an incredible impact on the person you are kind to.
Even something as simple as doing your job can mean the world to someone else. Just be kind.
“The first number on my scale has been a ’2’ for the past 21 years, but not today.”
No matter where you are on your weightless journey (if you’re on one at all), it’s going to be tough. But getting to celebrate little moments like this make it all worthwhile.
“Pictured: 2 people who lost their spouses in terrible fashion, and became widows. They found each other, and still honor their past lives together. Hope this gives grieving widows hope.”
I can’t imagine what it must be like to be a widow. It’s really nice that two people who suffered such horrible losses were able to come together like this.
“Simply Italy.”
I think the world would be a better place if we were all a little nicer to the elderly. Even something as small as giving your parent or grandparent a call can help them feel so much less lonely.
“This one is a fun challenge!”
Coming home to fun surprises like this is honestly the best. After a long day of work, there’s no reason not to have a little fun. Plus, this just shows how much someone cares about you.
“Subtle dad jokes are the best.”
In case anyone needed some clarification, the guy’s daughter is, in fact, the one on the left of the picture.
Ah, dad jokes. There’s truly nothing in the world quite as pure.
“I’m sick in this picture and he just came and was there for me. I love my sweet baby boy.”
Cats (and dogs) have a way of knowing when we’re down in the dumps or not feeling well, and they do their best to comfort us. As if we needed more proof that cats care about us!
“My teacher Praised my assignment and wants me to enter a district writing contest with my work. It’s small but that bit of praise means so much to me!”
The difference that a good teacher can make is huge. A good teacher can encourage a student to pursue their passion, which could get them to one day have the job of their dreams.
“This is precious…”
Sure, the other team dads could never replace this guy’s dad. But little actions like that might just make the void feel a little smaller.
Excuse me while I go cry again.
“That’s my first ever emergency fund at 38 years old. I beat 23 years of addiction and now I’m trying to encourage others to never give up hope.”
I think one important thing that everyone needs to know is that it’s never too late. It’s never too late to seek help, or to overcome addiction, or to get your life back on track.
“This made me Smile!”
Who knows, maybe this kid just developed a lifelong passion for nuclear physics! It just goes to show you that you never really know what someone might end up being interested in, even if that someone is three years old.
“My grandmother and her snowman!”
I feel like sometimes we as adults forget how to have fun. But fun doesn’t have an age limit. There’s no age where you have to stop making snowmen.
She looks so proud of this one, too!
“Ice Cube is a legend!”
The original Tweet is one thing, but the fact that Ice Cube himself replied to it makes it so much better! The internet might not be the best place all the time, but this sure is one wholesome exchange.
“The Sweetest act of kindness ever.”
The electricians could’ve treated the kid like a burden, but instead they went above and beyond to make sure he felt included. There’s honestly nothing more wholesome than when people treat kids with kindness.
“This man was forced to give his dog to Humane Society due to lengthy hospital stay. This nurse went to the shelter and adopted his dog. She brings him to visit daily & will return him as soon as the man is released!”
It’s fine, I’m not crying. Not crying at all.
Okay, so I’m crying a little bit. But, like, how could you not at such a heartwarming story?
“Just finally realized, this was the bandaid the nurse gave me after my flu shot today. I’m a 35 year old male. It made me smile.”
It doesn’t matter how old or “mature” you are, a cute bandage is always going to make you smile. Sometimes, it’s the little things.
“After 16 years of homelessness I finally have my own place.”
Living in your own home for the first time probably feels so much more fulfilling when you’ve experienced homelessness. I think everyone deserves to have a place they can call their own.
“When I was depressed in high school, I would oftentimes go into the bathroom to isolate. I’d sit in a stall and miss my classes or just cry. Once, after I left my stall, this was on the mirror.”
I bet the girl who left that note didn’t know how much of an impact it would have on this person, even years later. As if we needed another reminder to be kind to others.
