Happy October and almost Halloween everybody! It’s not even been 2 months in, and do I even need to ask if anyone else is feeling the stress of the new school year? I know that I myself am very much feeling it. Actually, not too long ago, I was feeling abnormally stressed out- I was having one of those days that drag on and on. Thankfully, on that very stressful day, a good friend of mine happened to send me an adorable video, which is number 3 below. It filled me with a sense of warmth and reassurance, and did wonders in restoring my faith in humanity. Although her action of sending me that video was small, it inspired me to think beyond the fact that I was under extreme pressure. I realized that I’d become too caught up in the things that, in the long run, really don’t matter. So much so, that later that night, instead of overstudying like I normally would, I explored a bit and came across a universe of inspiring videos, which I thought would be wonderful to pass on to anyone else out there. Although these are very different in context, they are all tied together by the fact that they fill you with a unique sense of thankfulness. (Also, it was recently Thanksgiving, so these productions fit in the holiday spirit). As you watch these, remember- every once in a while, pause, take a deep breath, and embrace the not so obvious things you are already blessed with in life.
