If You Have Good Thoughts
The Power of Words
When I first saw this video, I thought it was about the title—the power of words. Then it occurred to me that it might be about the other part of the title (shared on the YouTube page, but not here): you should see this.
Perhaps it’s not so much about saying the same thing in a different way; maybe it’s more about the gift of the second message and how that naturally inspired others to give back.
It’s a powerful reminder, a truth we often forget. It’s a beautiful day. Can you see it?
Amazing Amputee Skateboarder
I would be terrified to try these things even standing on a skateboard. It’s absolutely amazing, what this man can do, and even more inspiring that he believed in himself enough to try and get this good.
A Man, a Pink Tutu, and His Smiling Wife, Who’s Undergoing Chemo

Secret Santa’s Layaway Gift
Three mothers got the best holiday gift ever this year: the gift of renewed faith in people. It’s something we can all give year round, not just at the holiday season, and not just with our wallets. In fact, you may already give it regularly without even realizing it.
For all the angels who give it here, through kindness, consideration, and support, in comments or in the forums, I thank you. You remind me that people are good, and people care!

This brought tears to my eyes…all four times I watched it.
