As millions of people are coming together at the Rio 2016 Olympic games, we’re reminded of how wonderful the world can be. These nations are competing with each other, but they aren’t at war.
Seeing the sportsmanship through high-fives and hugs between teams reminds me that there is still so much to be grateful for on our planet.
Every day, people are doing amazing things or capturing beautiful moments on camera that make our hearts sing and I think we need more of that.
So here is a list of 17 photos that will hopefully restore your faith in our world! I absolutely fell to pieces on #14.
SHARE with everyone and COMMENT on which is your fave!
