17 People Whose Day Was Brightened Up by Small Things

Sonya Levien once said, “Small things have a way of overmastering the great. This small press can destroy a kingdom.” You don’t have to wait for something grand to happen and skyrocket your mood. You can keep your eyes open and notice all the small things that you might take for granted. They may not be able to change your life, but they offer a breath of fresh air.

Bright Side collected 17 pictures that are guaranteed to make your day, even if you feel a little gloomier than usual.
