19 Tender Pictures That Can Brighten Even the Dullest Day

It’s human nature to actively seek out happiness. However, many of us are too busy to notice the little things and opportunities that can cheer us up. Moreover, research shows that happiness is always there, we simply need to take notice of overlooked details, recognize the small actions around us, and learn to appreciate life’s little things and, often unexpected, pleasures.

At Bright Side, we decided to put together a compilation of 19 sweet pictures that can help you see life from a different perspective and make you feel an unequivocal amount of joy.

1. “My daughter: ’Dad, it looks like a giant piece of pizza. I’ll be the round pepperoni.’”

2. “Daddy, you’re hairy all over, where can I put this tattoo?”

3. “Mom is in the process of moving and is having her cat stay in her office.”

“She went out of town for a long weekend, and sweet Turtle is so happy she’s back.”
