Let's be real: some days feel like you should have never gotten out of bed in the first place. Whether it's a struggle with work, your family, friends — or a small buildup of frustrations from all of the above — you can start to feel like a volcano that's about to erupt with emotional exhaustion.
However, there are just as many (if not more) small, subtle moments where you're reminded what makes life truly beautiful. It might be a kind gesture from a loved one or simply taking the time to really appreciate your surroundings. Whatever the case, it's something that warms your heart just enough that you can't help but break out into a huge smile.
Those little moments of happiness are exactly what the folks below decided to share from their own experiences.
