I found this video earlier today on Ann’s blog Ann Again…and again who in turn found it on Cheryl’s blog The Daily Blonde.

Over 40 million views and I had missed it completely!

Here is the story from the YouTube description:

Sometimes, a hug is all that we need. Free Hugs is the real life controversial story of Juan Mann, a man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger put a smile on their face.

In this age of social-disconnection most all of us lack that simple human touch from another, the effects of the Free Hugs Campaign are now felt around the globe.

As this simple gesture of kindness and hope spread across the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs Campaign BANNED. What we then witnessed was the true spirit of humanity as people came together in what can only be described as something awe inspiring.

In the spirit of the Free Hugs Campaign please pass this video to a friend and HUG a stranger! After all, you CAN make a difference.

Ah, there is Sunny’s (and now Starr’s) motto again:  Make a Difference.

We all can!

Last year for Spring Break Starr went on a mission trip with Skye to Gulfport Mississippi and had a wonderful time!

The year before that, Sunny, Mel, Starr and I went to Arizona. We had a blast!

This year she joined a few of her sorority sisters in California, visiting San Francisco and Davis. She had a lot of fun and it was nice to get out of town, but I don’t think she had as much fun as she did in the past few years. Probably because she isn’t as close with these girls as she was to her traveling companions in the past.

My dad left the following messages on her voice mail while she was gone, which reminds us that she has been lucky over the years. She has had many experiences that most 19 year olds haven’t had. Most of them very good.

I am a light-weight geek. I like new things, but if it’s difficult, I will tend to ignore it. Here is something I ran across the other day, that is cute and totally Kelly doable. It’s a GreaseMonkey script that adds Gravitar (Globally Recognized Avatar) visibility in Gmail. You are able to see the Gravatar of the sender when reading individual emails.  So far, it seems that only a few of my friends actually have a Gravatar but I like the idea, and it’s kind of nice to see a little personalization on the emails.

GreaseMonkey is a FireFox add-on. Which is good, because FireFox is what I use. Click the link below to install the add-on:

After you have installed GreaseMonkey then go to the following post and click the blue “here” in the second paragraph and it installs the script automatically! I like automatic!

Sometimes it’s the little things that make me smile!

**I am editing this post to add that you might want to read my post called Zicam Revisited. I will never use Zicam Extreme Congestion Relief again. I do not recommend it.**

At 4am this morning, Zicam was my new hero. I’ve had the bottle of  Zicam Extreme Congestion Relief in my cabinet for a long time. I wasn’t convinced that it would be effective, so I hadn’t tried it. Unable to sleep, unable to breathe, my face throbbing from sinus pressure, completely out of my usual cold medications. In desperate need of relief,  I suddenly remember the Zicam. Within seconds after using it, I could breathe, easily. It was a little miracle! I am still breathing over 8 hours later!

I wasn’t able to sleep however, I was so amazed at my ability to breathe, that’s all I thought about. Finally getting up to watch some of the recordings on the DVR before trying sleep again, this time succeeding! Yay!

I won’t be partying in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day today, but I wish you a happy one anyways! Have fun for me please!

Yay! Yeah, right.

I am having a rough day. Nursing a broken heart, my headache and I woke up with a flippin’ cold! Not to mention the fact that I drank my last Diet Coke this morning, so a trip to the store will be necessary! Ugh.

In order to lighten my mood, I have posted a music video in the post below and here is a little clip of Elmo and Ricky Gervais that made me smile:
