Things are tough in the world right now, which is nothing new, but I have a really bad case of cynicism and that doesn’t help anyone or any cause. I thought about what cures cynicism and Google gave me a lot of viable treatments, but none that seemed to work for me.
When I was about to give into my cynicism I saw something that made me smile through my frustration: a dog wearing a bright red bow. This simple thing made me forget that the world is falling apart for a few minutes. When the cynicism returned I realized that we all need a moment of happiness to move forward and I knew the article I wanted to write. I knew that cute animals were my moments of happiness and that I should share the wealth. You are totally welcome to roll your eyes and say that this is some puff piece and maybe it is, but that’s not always a bad thing. Light pieces that aren’t necessarily intellectual aren’t harmful or stupid, they are moments of happiness, moments of sanity. So I hope you find these pictures to be as joy-filled as I do or at the very least they inspire you to find your own moments of happiness.
