In a perfect world, nothing would go wrong and every day would be a good day. But, where's the fun in that? Even on the worst days, you can find some good out there.
The pictures in this list may not be able to cure an unlucky streak or anything, but they'll still make you smile. And that's always going to count for something.
Okay, but that doggy smile is really infectious! Sure, she might not know how to play with that ball, but I'm sure she loves it all the same.
I love how focused that kid is on getting the perfect shot. It's actually really heartwarming. And I'm sure the whole family got to take a group photo at some point, too.
Sometimes, you don't have a lot of people to celebrate your birthday with. But that doesn't mean you can't still have a party with your favorite friends, even if they aren't technically people.
I guess the kid must've taken a liking to his new step-dad pretty quickly to want to take the initiative to do this for him. That's so incredibly sweet!
"...and it made me realize that she's been giving me the same comforting big sister hugs since we were tiny little things. I love her so much. I'm going to call her today and tell her how much I love her."
Reminder to hug your sister today!
Okay, that's just hilarious! But it also seems like it would work. Sometimes you have to find something your partner likes so you can get a couple of hours of shuteye in without them bugging you.
Raccoons may be vicious, annoying, disease-ridden, and dangerous if they get close to your pets... but they're also really cute. A baby raccoon is never not going to make me smile. From a distance.
Excuse me while I go cry over how cute this baby deer is.
This is absolutely gorgeous! Sometimes, stopping to admire something beautiful, like a bonsai tree or another part of nature, is just the pick-me-up you need in the day.
This is probably the most random thing you could request from a hotel, but I'm glad this person finally got their wish! All I can say is, if I were a hotel employee, I'd be honoring those kinds of requests every single time.
As it turns out, we don't need weather apps. We just need somebody to tell us what the weather's going to be like, and make us feel nice at the same time!
But then, how would they know the weather...?
I hate how much this actually made me laugh. I guess this kid has already mastered the kind of weird, sort of surrealist humor people are into these days. She has a future as a comedian ahead of her!
It's graduation season, which means parents all over are going to be proud of what their kids have accomplished. And I guess that also means kids of the non-human variety.
No thoughts, just vibes. Since there are a lot of different bees on the endangered species list, it's nice to just see one doing its thing, pollinating plants and all that. You can't not love bees (from afar)!
I think the best thing in the world is when parents cherish all the things their kids make for them. If I were this dad, I'd be so proud to wear that badge.
This is just so cool! It almost makes me wish that trees would light up at night like that (even though that would probably be a really bad idea). But at least we can appreciate this pic!
Yup, that sure is one happy duck. I know that when animals "smile," they aren't actually smiling the way we do. But I like to think that they're still in good moods.
Cleaning a palette out can be pretty time-consuming, but the end result is always worth it. I mean, getting something from a messy state to an organized one is nothing short of satisfying.
The best part about Father's Day is knowing that so many kids got to spend the day bonding with their dads, step-dads, and father figures. So wholesome!
It's so funny to think about how some of the world's deadliest predators were all once cute, cuddly babies. I guess in a way, that includes us humans, too...
