You Say You Want A Revolution

Nashville, TN: I sometimes wonder if anything I say or do - in the big scheme of life - really matters. I mean, sure, I try to do my best to make this world a better place: I recycle, I volunteer, I try to bite my tongue when I'm about to talk smack about someone (or at least follow it up with a "bless their hearts" that will offset the slam).

But does it really matter? Will anything I do - or not do - change the big picture? How is little ol' me going to have an affect on any of the important stuff?

Then I saw the following video. Actually, I stole it from another blog. But I feel like reposting it here because it reminds me that we really CAN start a revolution. Little ol' you & me. It doesn't have to be about ending global warming or securing equal rights for gay marriage (though it could....), but it can be as simple as making someone smile. We have no idea what that one little act can lead to. And who it can affect. And who will do something themselves because YOU did it first. Just because we don't see the residual effect immediately doesn't mean it won't be the beginning to something greater.

I guess it really does matter. Even the little ol' stuff.

Now dance.
