We’re all going through difficult times these days and reading about tense things can make it even harder.

I make a point to also look at warm, light content to bring me some comfort.

Here are 11 heartwarming experiences to look at and think about when you feel low.

1. Pure Joy!

Dog joy gives me life! Let’s take pleasure in the simple things like they do.

2. Ah, memories

My grandma used to do this with money and candy. I loved that it was just between us!

3. My heart

I really am sending warmth, love and compassion and I want you to feel that!

4. Imagination

So sweet. Toy Story also made me wonder what my toys were up to when no humans were around!

5. Rocking out

My grandpa and I bonded listening to music, too! It was lovely and he had great headphones.

6. Thanks!

I cherish anyone rooting for me — even a vegetable. We all need positivity from unexpected places.

7. Beautiful

Making a strong connection with a baby is so powerful and moving. I’ll never forget the first times my niece and nephew gripped my fingers for the first time.

8. Furry friend

Dogs are the best greeters and they deserve to be paid well in treats and pats. I pat almost every one I see (with permission).

9. Profound moment

I’m so sorry he lost his dad so young, but moved to see they’re bonding even after his dad died.

10. In it together

As cliche as it is, life is a journey and it can help to be “stuck” with someone throughout it.

11. Solidarity

I also feel compelled to rush over to connect over a shared passion I’ve just discovered. It feels so good!
