20+ People Who Didn’t Expect Any Surprises but Got Showered With Them Instead

There’s such a thing as magical thinking. It starts in early childhood and comes with the belief in Santa or the Easter Bunny. Adults have this thinking too. Sometimes, you may think about a person who you haven’t seen for a long time, and soon they may call you or you may run into them accidentally. Our life is full of these surprises, and our article is proof of it.

Here at Bright Side, we do believe in the magical side of life. Today we’ve collected 21 photos that prove all good things and discoveries come to us when we least expect them. We’d love for you to take a look at these stories together with us.

1. “After trying unsuccessfully for many months to get pregnant, my wife and I decided to get a puppy. I’ve made a huge mistake.”

2. “I have never seen such clear water, my whole hand is underwater.”

3. “So my friend sent me a photo of his dog...”
