If You’re Feeling Down, These 120 Wholesome Posts Might Lift You Up (New Pics)

Our Earth can be a rough place. But you don't need me to remind you of it. The media is already full of stories about anger, deceit, and wreckage. And while we can't ignore our problems, hoping they might just go away, we do sometimes need a break from them.

To remind you that there's still plenty of goodness in this world, Bored Panda put together a new list of feel-good posts from all across the internet. Personal growth, empathetic relationships, we included everything. But if you scroll through the publication and your heart still needs more warmth, fire up our earlier renditions of wholesomeness here, here, and here.

#62 Finally Able To Start Walking Again

Active duty military. I was taking part in an airborne operation when I had a horrible night landing. 

Simultaneously damaged both shoulders (labrum, rotator, and biceps), and both hips (labrum, femur heads). I have been suffering from constant chronic pain and have been having a harder and harder time walking.

I’ve spent the last five years on the surgeons table. The hips continued to get worse no matter what we tried, and I’ve been unable to walk more than a block due to the pain.

I finally gave in and agreed to a hip replacement. Surgery was on Monday. Here I am two days later. On day 6 I did a block and a half for the first time in a very long time.

The other hip will be replaced in February. I woke up today without the chronic pain for the first time in five years. I cried because I had forgotten what it felt like not to be in pain.

My wife has never let me give up. And here I am smiling for the first time in a long time.

There is hope. Hang in there!
