Depending on your vantage point, life is not so great, pretty terrible or downright horrifying. Allow us, then, to give you five unsolicited reasons to smile.
| Eyebrow Dance | Because kids are cute. But awkward kids with hidden talents are cuter | Cadbury, and their creative agency Fallon | |
| Beautiful Cowboy |  |
Because the, uh, boots are nice? | Out magazine, model Doug Porter, and photographer Matthias Vriens (and BoyCulture) |
| Frank, the truck-driving duck | Because cats, dogs, and even pigs get to be “cute” and “adorable,” but never ducks | NBC and CuteOverload | |
| Milk honors |  |
Because Sean Penn took home the Best Actor SAG Award last night and received a standing ovation when the envelope was unsealed. “We don’t play gay or straight, we play human beings. This is a story about equal rights for human beings” | The Screen Actors Guild, naturally |
| A smiling Sasha Obama |  |
Because dammit, the children really are our future | Parents Barack and Michelle |
