Quite a few videos have crossed my computer screen over the past week. Here are the 3 that really put a stain in my brain.

  • Simon’s Cat is a series of animated shorts that perfectly capture the trouble cats can get into. In the latest video, the cat comes face to face with the strange cat in the mirror. Of course, hilarity ensues. (Simon’s Cat also reminds us next week is Petfinder.com’s annual Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable-Cat Week.)
  • Maya Angelou is one of my favorite elders. I don’t know her personally, but whenever I read her writing or listen to her speak, I feel blessed to be in the presence of such wisdom and grace. She recently spoke with Anderson Cooper about civil rights and her memories of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
  • When you are kind to someone, you never know whose lives they will touch in the aftermath of being blessed by you. This commercial from Thailand illustrates that concept. Be sure to have tissues handy. This one made me cry.
