Okay, since it’s Dec 15th, I’m almost half way through 31 days of Gratitude for the December Self-Care Retreat! I didn’t know what I was going to write about today, and then I saw this collection of awesome pictures…
Buzzfeed: The World Isn’t Such a Bad Place
…and it put a big smile back on my face.
The internet is a source of a lot of crap. I’m acutely aware that negativity sells, and there’s an over-abundance of it. But the interwebs t’s also a source of a lot of uplifting goodness…and cats. It’s all in where you look. I love Upworthy, and obviously Cheeseburger Cats and Paw Bonito for you animal peeps.
Here are just a few videos & collections of pics that I’ve loved lately:
Doggie shaming pictures. I now feel much, much better about “owning” cats
A woman who takes time out to dance right before a mastectomy
A boy dying of cancer. Sounds depressing, but it’s also one of the most moving things I’ve seen in a long, long time!
And for you doggie lovers, may you be as happy as a husky with a pile of leaves. No, really.
Last but not least, I think these “Happy” videos are pretty neat, too. It’s 24 hours of different people dancing to Pharrell William’s song, and I love seeing REAL people of all ages, colors, shapes and sizes getting down and getting goofy. Makes me want to dance! Oh yeah, and the song TOTALLY gets in your head, too.

I did a similar link roundup last year, too.

This is so lovely! A great pick me up. I’ve been kind of sick and stressed, and I’ve been watching clips of Seinfeld on youtube when I need a little relief.
I think I need to bookmark this post. =D
So glad it helped, Kate! We all need a little goodness around.
Kathryn, so glad you enjoyed them!
