Sometimes my family needs something to brighten our day. Every once in a while the news channels sprinkle in a human interest story or a funny video into the more stark news that makes me feel better about the world.

Social media is more of the same, with every other post about lowering the curve, an infographic of the spread of COVID-19, and news from overwhelmed hospitals.  Don’t get me wrong. I believe it is vitally important to be aware of what is going on in the world and what we can personally do to help.

I also think it’s important to take care of ourselves, and sometimes we need a break from the news. A positive story or a funny video can be a breath of fresh air in the middle of a hard time.

So if you are looking for a good laugh or something to warm your heart, here are some videos for you to enjoy.
