She is a wonderful young lady. Garbagemen are some of the needed people that help keep our society running. His smile is warming.

You might cringe as we say "good vibes only", but this group honestly is that. The 1 million blessed members share uplifting content that might remind you what the simple pleasures of life are. We might as well call it kindness in images that hug your heart.

You can probably notice that most of these pics contain animals. Looking at cute animal photos can make your day better. Whether it's a puppy or a kitten, seeing something cute can quickly make you feel happier and more positive. But why does this happen? Well, it might be for a few psychological reasons.

That is what more stupidly rich people should do with at least a portion of their money. If they won't (and you know they won't), tax it out of the greedy MFs.

One reason cute animal photos make us feel better is because they make us kinder. That makes sense, as not everyone is naturally inclined to help others. Studies have also shown this to be true, according to the National Library of Medicine: "When we see puppies, our brains release oxytocin." This makes us feel loving and attached to those animals (and sometimes to other humans too). That's why many folks who work at animal shelters choose to volunteer – they want to help animals!

That's actually a very sweet idea! Outside of work, the only human interaction I get is when I go to the shops, which is only once a week. Sometimes it's just nice to hear people chat, maybe even contribute a line or two.

Looking at cute animal photos is a great way to feel happier. Cute animal pictures also help us deal with emotions and stress. When we see something cute, our brain releases a happiness chemical called dopamine. This makes us feel better overall.

To date, I have never run across a bandaid that was that close in colour to my own skin.

What happens when you see a cute picture? Even though they're not real, they make our brain's pleasure centers light up in a similar way to how pictures of human faces do, thanks to the visual part of our brain.

Cute. But is anyone else weirded out a little that a 7 yr old has access to your meds?

I have to take multiple prescription meds. My niece and nephews have all known from a very young age that I take these medications and they have all had it drilled into them very many times by their parents and by me that they should never take anyone else’s medication and that they should never take medicine unless their parents/grandparents/I give it to them. At 7 they all understood this and also understood that auntie needed to take medication to be healthy and that that is okay. Still, I always kept everything in the childproof bottles just in case. But I hope and believe it is likely that this parent has talked to their child about medication safety. And I think it is ultimately good that the child understands what they are for. Children are curious and my niece and nephews all asked me independently why I was taking so much medicine. It was a good conversation opener into all the different ways we can take care of our bodies and our minds and that it’s okay to ask for help

Maybe a 7 yr old shouldn't have access to "happy pills". Just seems like the start of a NA meeting story.

Antidepressants aren’t narcotics and do not produce any immediate pleasurable effect

This actually brought tears to my eyes. It is the kindness of little children; trying to do what they can to bring joy. A reminder to me to go back to doing what I can to bring light to those around me. Everyone is going through something.

Down voting because kids shouldn't be able to access medication unsupervised. Luckily if true she didn't try them, but this is very dangerous.

Looking at cute animals can help you concentrate and work better, says a study in PLOS ONE. The research found that looking at adorable pictures of baby animals helps you focus on tasks like math or puzzles. It also makes you want to work harder and longer.

"It's really easy to take and share photos online nowadays – they're like the pictures of our lives," explains Jo Hemmings, a psychologist. "But because it's so easy, we often forget to look back at the pictures we've taken. This means we miss out on the happiness they can bring."

"Research shows that having actual photos in our home gives us a good feeling. They remind us of the people and things we care about, making our connections stronger!"

We trained our dog to sit using treats, so for the rest of his life if he wanted some of your food he would wait patiently until you noticed him and then very pointedly... sit.
