Below, you will find a collection of wholesome pictures that show there is good left in the world after all. We're talking Nepalese climbers removing trash from Mount Everest to firefighters saving animals; this list has everything it needs to soothe your heart. At least for a little while.

Don't Really Have Anyone To Celebrate With, So I Thought I'd Share With You Guys. I’m One Year Sober
I Just Moved Into My First Very Own Place And Am Living 100% Independently
When you finish going through the pictures, there are more things you can do to make your day a little brighter. Sarah Helen King, psychologist and founder of Invigorise, told Bored Panda that practicing gratitude can do wonders for us.
"Keep a gratitude diary near you and each day just spend a few minutes thinking about one thing you are grateful for, and write it down," Sarah suggested. "Then, whenever you are having a bad day, whip it out and read it. Instant mood enhancer."
For Those Who Step Up
My parents split when I was in first grade. My mom met my step-dad, mark, when I was in second grade. We moved in with him by the time I was in 3rd we moved in to his house. He treated my siblings and I as his own since day 1. He even would watch Gilmore Girls with me and my sister every afternoon. After my mom died when I was 16, Mark didn’t make us go live with our biological dad. He continued raising us as his own. He started out as my mom’s boyfriend and became my dad, my best friend, my go-to for advice.
Mark ended up working 3 jobs while having heart failure, asthma, and diabetes. He did everything he could to provide for my sister and I. He passed away 6 days before I graduated college in 2016. It’s been a few years but I still have trouble on Father’s Day. He could have ditched us when our mom died and we didn’t have enough income. But he didn’t. He was there fighting to put food on the table. Happy Father’s Day for all of the fathers who fight for their children.
Thank Goodness For Common Sense. I Wish It Was Free
No Matter How Hard It Is, You Have To Try To Push Through
But when it comes to news, the psychologist believes the only way to stop it from bothering us is to simply not watch it. "This has been hugely effective for many of my clients in minimizing anxiety in their day-to-day lives," she explained.
"As an alternative suggestion though, give yourself a daily time (e.g 6 pm) and limit (10 minutes) where you will catch up with the day's events. If you are prone to anxiety, steer clear of clicking on headlines that you know will be a trigger for you, and then after do something you enjoy, like go for a walk in nature or phone a friend for a catch-up and steer the conversation to something positive that happened in the day."

In France, Peyo, A Beautiful 15-Year-Old Stallion, Often Comes To Comfort And Soothe Terminally Ill Patients At The Techer Hospital In Calais
The horse always chooses which patient he wants to see, kicking his hoof outside the door.
I was in rehab for a broken back. A golden retriever climbed in bed with me. I was so moved I cried. I'd be overjoyed if a horse came to visit. Peyo is magnificent.
Awww, goldies are just that, golden <3 Bet you wouldn't want the horse to climb into your bed though :P

We can improve everybody's life so much by just letting animals live their life among us, as long as we accomodate them well and treat them with respect. Even if you can't afford a pet, be friendly to any wild animal you meet on your way, make room for them in your place as much as possible : you'll never feel sad and lonely anymore. One of the worst, most toxic for the environment and self-destructive feelings in humanity is to think that we're alone on this planet and only have to care about ourselves.
"as long as we accomodate them well and treat them with respect" EXACTLY. As an ethologist i made my thesis about it and the point was to study the effects of animal mediation on severe apathy/brain damage AND to prove that a free range animal is best and more efficient for patients and just basic respect for the animals. My appendices featured WTF pictures of mistreated animals performing "pet therapy". I proved very well that free range animals are even more efficient. Once a severely apathetic patient said "oh, the cat is about to jump off the wardrobe!" "yes he is madam!" it needs a very deep insight and interest to predict a behavior, that was awesome for a severely apathetic patient. Could not have been there with a poor tied cat who have no choice and is stressed as hell. This kind of people should be forbidden to work around animals and vulnerable people, they can make a lot of damages on both. maltraitan...fa7612.jpg 
Animal mediation can do wonders. As an ethologist i studied the effects of sessions with my cat on severe apathy due to Alzheimer and brain damage. He managed to make a severly apathetic patient suffering from Alzheimer and stroke brain damage to use an arm that she never used since her stroke years before. Good job kitty! RIP kitty, he was a rescue and i lost him from mediastinal cancer while writing my thesis, it was awful but i know that he helped people a lot. photo-1-61...2a078a.jpg

I would love to see more animals in hospitals and nursing homes. They are intuitive and loving and such a positive experience for the patients!
A lady in my village does therapy pony visits, but her ponies are tiny! She goes to care homes too and the patients love it!
I ask this respectfully, but wouldn’t the beautiful horse scare the bejeebers outta the patients?! I’m thinking they’d open their eyes and be like ‘WTF!!!’ 😵
I'd reckon they talk with the patients about it before just ushering a horse into their room, lol

What kind of horse is that? It looks like an ancient breed with its neck being about 50% taller than "normal" horses' necks? You can see the ridge of muscle where the mane would start on an ordinary horse about one hand down from the mane. I'd love to know if anyone into horses could share!
I wonder if he also might have some PRE (pura raza Española) Spanish blood too- they tend to be super crest-y too.

Just imagine waking up and seeing that big face in front of you! i would think i was on something strong or on death's door. Beautiful horse and awesome program.
Animals sense more than we know, and can provide immense comfort to humans. We need to respect them.
What a great facility to allow this. This horse has a huge heart for humans
He is stunning! This is such a tender and gracious act of compassion and empathy.
Animals presence makes humans to feel relaxed & stress free. Beautiful Horse.
I wish animal therapy was much more widely used in all areas of health! Animals are such extraordinary mystical beings.
I was leaving an appt at my VA hospital as a mini horse with a unicorn horn was entering. Verrrry tempted to just go back in and pat the pony!
In ICU I got a visit from a cocker spaniel. It was the ONLY time my BP was normal in the entire 2 weeks I was there. My parents got me a puppy a few weeks after I was released.
Is this the horse they did article about a few years back? The one that knows when people are going to die?
