You're Awake, You're Awesome, Live Like It

I ran across this video today, and maybe I am extra sentimental but I thought it was the sweetest thing ever.  Not only is this kid adorable, but what he says is oh so true.  The video is called, There’s a lot that the kids need to know….a letter to a person on their first day here.  You should definitely check out the video…just reading the words doesn't do it justice.

Today over 360,000 babies will be born and you are one of them.  Welcome, this is the world …it’s a pretty cool place!  There’s lots to see, smell, there’s corn dogs.  Ah, I’m getting ahead of myself.  There’s just so much to do.  Singing, and dancing, oh and laughing.  Laughing is the best.  Especially great when you laugh and milk comes out of your nose.  But only if you just had milk. Otherwise it’s just gross.  Some days, gross things will happen. Some days awesome things will happen.  Some days you’ll get ice cream, some days you won't.  Some days your kite will fly high, some days it gets stuck in the trees. It’s just how it is here.  There’s plenty of reasons to dance, you just gotta look for them.  Don’t worry though, you won’t be doing this alone.  You’re gonna meet lots of people here.  Some of them will be really nice, and some won’t be.  It’s not that they can’t be, it’s just, maybe their just having a bad day.  Being a person is hard sometimes.  You should give people high fives just for getting out of bed. Oh high fives, I forgot to explain that.  How do I explain this? Um, its kind of, high fives are like hitting someone who is your friend. Uh, that’s really bad.  Just treat everybody like it’s their birthday, even if they don’t deserve it.  Because we all mess up sometimes.  The biggest mess up, not forgiving each others mess ups.  Maybe you’ll be a teacher, maybe you’ll be the President maybe you’ll cure every disease ever.  You might even see the Grand Canyon, swim in the ocean, this is so so much! It’s a lot.  Try this, take a breath. Isn’t that amazing, its called breathing!  You’re gonna do it a lot.  Nobody knows exactly how much, so enjoy it.  Pay attention.  Take brain pictures, because amazing things will happen everyday.  You’re gonna do so much.  But it’s not about what you do, but about who you are. You, you’re awesome. You’re made that way.  You’re made from love, to be loved, to spread love. Love is always louder, no matter what.  Even if hate has a bullhorn. Love is louder,  So let your life be loud.  Let’s shout to the world, “things can be better, it’s okay about all the mess ups.  Corn dogs rule”  Sorry, I keep bringing that up.  I don’t think I told you this yet,  We’re really glad you’re here.  We don’t say that enough to each other here.   Because well, life gets busy.  Your going to be important, and you’re going to do a lot.  And your going to smell great, but don’t get too busy. Remember to let everybody know, you’re glad they’re here.  You don’t have to remember all of this right now.  You’re going to need a pep talk sometimes, and that’s okay. For now, remember this. You’re awake your awesome, live like it.

And of course I have some cute random pictures to share.
