Can We Go Thrift Shopping?

You hear all the time that you gotta enjoy the little things in life. I know it's a completely cliche saying, but the more time I spend on this rock the more I can't help but find myself living into it. Whether it be a hot cup of tea with a friend, watching young puppies wrestle around in knee high grass, or sitting down to a good book. All of these have a hidden beauty within them and sometimes, if you stop long enough, you can catch a small glimpse of it. However, tonight's cliche moment was sponsored by a Nikon Coolpix AW110, iTunes, and a awful cute five year old who loves to dance.

My little sister Kitlano and I were hanging out when Macklemore's Thrift Shop came across the airwaves. One thing lead to another and before long we were both dancing our hearts out and being completely ridiculous together. Now, everyone knows you can't have a awesome dance party with out filming it. That being said, the only logical thing to do in the moment was to pull out my camera and start recording.

To most people the video will be completely pointless and just silly. But six months from now, when I'm sitting back in America, I'm going to be able to watch that video and remember the innocent laugh of my little sister and the fun we had being completely goofy together in a small rondavel in Lekubu, South Africa. It's times like that which make all the injustices, pains, and misunderstandings of this world go away, even if only for a moment. I guess it may lead one to say, "You gotta enjoy the little things."

Peace
