Inspiration of the Day
This video never ceases to bring a smile to my face. I think it's because in this day and age of war, famine, floods, earthquakes, typhoons, tornadoes, fires and every other unimaginable disaster, accompanied by overwhelming sadness and despair, I love to see the children laugh and smile. I could watch it every morning with my cup of coffee. Thanks, Matt!

I agree with you, Les! Watching this video and feeling happy is a wonderful way to start the day. I can't get enough of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Les for sharing this YouTube! It definitely brought a smile to my face. :) Fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you enjoy this video as much as I do! One can't really offer something that didn't belong to them.... but glad to have you shamelessly steal from me as I did from others before ;-) I'm sure the Matt dude would be happy.
ReplyDeleteOkay, yeah, apparently my sister has driven me to the point that I need therapy because it made me cry. I loved his lecture and laughed a lot, though! Thanks for posting the links! And, the video. Someday I'll laugh when I see it. Anything sets me off, right now. :)
ReplyDeleteRobin - I love the music as much as the video. I've gotten in the habit of opening the video clip and moving over to my email, listening as I read. I need to buy an MP3 for my iPod.
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of it, either!
Joy - You're welcome. I was certain everyone has already seen it, but apparently not. It brings a smile to my face (and, I must admit, tears to my eyes), too.
Tasses - I am SO glad I discovered it via your blog. And, I never would have seen it if you hadn't commented on my blog the other day.
I think Matt must be an interesting guy to talk to, don't you. I'm sure he's seen some amazing things in all his travels.
Bookfool - Well, I didn't mention it in my original post, but it makes me tear up, too. I think it's a combination of the music and the visuals. Very moving, to say the least. There are two more You Tube videos of his lecture. I only included Part One. I plan to watch the others later. He is funny, isn't he?!
He is funny; he's got a great sense of humor. Yeah, I'd say the combination is pretty moving. But, I was a mess, last week! I'm better, now that I've talked to my sister and cleared the air a bit. When I have a bit more time, I'll look up parts two and three of his lecture.
ReplyDeleteThis brought a smile to my face, and a tear to my eye.We love you and Rod.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteSandy - Thanks for the comment. We love you guys, too!
ReplyDeleteNat - You're welcome. I love to listen to the music while I'm blog hopping. I need to buy the MP3!
Lesley, thanks so much for letting us know about this video. It's pure joy! And for some reason, it makes me cry every time I watch it. It's just wonderful.

Indigo - I agree. Every time someone leaves a comment here, I have to go back and watch/listen to the video all over again. I understand how it can make you cry. It's quite touching, not to mention how beautiful the music sounds!
