The world can be a dark and scary place. The unceasing onslaught of dreary, depressing and downright infuriating headlines can make you angry. We're left with a sense of hopelessness and nihilism -- the world is mostly bad, most people are bad and mostly bad things happen. And that there's nothing we can do about it.

And, while it's true that there are plenty of terrible people doing terrible things, what we don't see in the endless cycle of attention-grabbing, soul-crushing headlines is all the good, small things around us that aren't 'punchy' enough for the evening news.

Down below is a bevy of good news, uplifting stories and wholesome posts to remind you that things really, truly, seriously aren't as bad as they might seem sometimes. There are still plenty of good people out there ready and willing to step up to the plate and do some good.
