20 Pics That Can Be a Ray of Sunlight on the Gloomiest Day

Here and there, the universe likes to decorate our lives with sparks of magic and hope. This can happen when we witness someone do a good deed without expecting anything in return, or when we see unconditional love getting expressed by a sudden unexpected gesture. It can also be seen when animals spread joy around them, simply by being adorable. The world is full of moments that are made of warmth, we just need to notice them.
