I'm sure you all know that person who forwards every email they get onto everyone in their address book. My personal favorites are the ones that promise some sort of reward and/or consequence if you send or do not send it to a certain number of people. For me, my mother is that person.

I've taken to deleting most of what she sends me without reading it. But the other day, I was bored and I opened one. What I found was a really touching YouTube video.

It's called Christian the Lion and it's a true story about two men who raised a lion cub, released it into the wild, and then reunited with it months later. (Although, the music in the background is semi-comical.) I just love stories about the connections between humans and animals. It makes you realize how similar we truly are. That's the way my cat, Konrad, greets me when I come home from vacation!

The next video a friend sent to me is called 'Where the He** (double hockey sticks) is Matt.' (watch it in high quality)

This is the story of a guy who traveled the world dancing with people. It's just such a simple concept that speaks volumes without saying a word. I love it. I love the message. I love the feeling. I love the people that came up the idea. I wish everyone in the world could dance with Matt.

I hope you enjoy those. Forward them on to a friend. It's always nice see something that just makes you smile!
