In a world filled with news headlines that can often be difficult or disturbing, it’s important to remember that there is still much good happening all around us. Every year, alongside the “news photos of the year,” I like to take a moment to reflect on the positive images that have emerged over the past 12 months. These glimpses of joy and kindness serve as a reminder that the world is not all darkness and despair.<\/p>\n
