Happy Distraction
August 6th, 2008

Ack, I meant to be productive this evening as my cloud of happy oblivion suddenly burst & poured onto my shoulders the many obligations I have to uphold within the next week.  I haven’t made any progress toward any of them.

But randomly this popped into my head & I thought I’d do a quick post to share, just in case some of you haven’t seen it yet.  It was all over the news last week so I’m sure it’s made its rounds, but I feel the need to have it on my blog.  Because I love it.  And it makes me so so happy.  And it makes me cry.

Yes, a bit cheesy, but who doesn’t love a good cheesy video every once in a while?  I already held strong emotions with the song, as I connect it with my grandma, but then to pair it with the imagery of such a massive, beast, really, being so loving & sharing such a bond, oh, it pushes me over the edge.  The blond guy’s smile is amazing.

I take it back.  He’s not a beast.  He’s a giant Paddington.

Now go watch it again!
