Life is a verb

posted on October 6, 2009 at 1:41 pm

Enjoy this video that has been watched more than 24 million times:

Here’s a great response to it that I read on Facebook:

Oh my…I love that.

I started reading “Life is a Verb” a couple weeks ago and I was challenged to stop what I was doing and dance like a 5-year old for 3 minutes. At the time I was on an airplane so I saved the exercise for later. I didn’t feel the coffee shop across from church was the right place to do it either. This video makes me realize I’m missing the whole point. Joy is contagious — this guy has given a gift to all those people with just a couple minutes of silliness and abandon. Cheers!

Joy is contagious.
