Music (Dance) Videos

I love a good homemade video. Their often goofy, nerdy, quirky and oddball. But always clever.

I couldn't resist sharing some of my favorite music videos, which once compiled into a list I realized they incorporate some dancing. Another reason why I might like them.

So if you have an hour to kill watching youtube videos I recommend the following:

OK GO!

(pretty much all their videos)

This Too Shall Pass (both marching band AND Rube Goldberg)

End of Love

Here it Goes

Pork & Beans

Keep Fishin' (one word...muppets)

Buddy Holly (river looks so young)

Daft Punk

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (two robot girls)

Attitude of Gratitude

Gave a lesson on gratitude today. Here are some of my favorites:

"We can lift ourselves, and others as well, when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude. If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins. then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues."

(An Attitude of Gratitude Pres. Thomas S. Monson, 2000 Feb Ensign.)

"A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith courage, contentment, happiness, love and well-being." (Gratitude As a Saving Principle Pres. James E. Faust, 1996 Dec Ensign.)

"Think to Thank. In these 3 words is the finest capsule course for a happy marriage, a formula for enduring friendship, and a pattern for personal happiness" (Thomas S. Monson, Pathway to Perfection, 1973 p.254)

"Hold fast to the blessings which God has provided for you. Yours is not the task to gain them, they are here; yours is the part of cherishing them." (Pres. J. Rueben Clark, Church News, June 1969)
