With all the negative news stories circling your social media, here are five happy news stories to brighten up your day and remind you that there is still some good left in this world.

1. Police officers rescue ducklings from a storm drain

After seeing a mother duck circling a sewer opening, two police officers ended up rescuing 12 ducklings and it was all caught on camera. You can check out the video here.

2. A wild stag and an elderly woman become best friends

Twice a day, this wild deer named Flippen climbs up to Mette Kvam, an 81-year-old woman's window in Norway while she pets him and gives him a snack. A bystander caught one of their adorable interactions on a video you can watch here.

3. These parents who gave their autistic son the best gift ever

These parents from Texas went viral when they surprised their autistic son with his very own mini-Blockbuster store after he was heart broken from his local Blockbuster being closed down.

4. A doctor has been feeding nearly 500 helpless elderly people every day for 10 years

Dr. Uday Modi started the Sharavan Tiffin Seva ten years ago when one of his elderly patients came to him for help because he and his ill wife were not able to make or even purchase their own food. After this event he began to make meals for the helpless elderly community in Mumbai, India daily starting with only 11 per day, a number which now soars into the hundreds every single day.

5. Anti-Trump protesters aid a Trump supporter after he collapses during protests

At protests in Wisconsin, Pat Ventura and Ana Draa, both anti-Trump protesters, were among the first people to respond to the collapse of a pro-Trump supporter and gave their aid in anyway possible. Later they spoke of the stark differences in ideology between the man and them and their responsibility to provide their care regardless of political standing. Draa and Ventura prove that in spite of our political ideology, we are all still human and capable of giving our care and prayers.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her.
