In Three Words

Good Morning America has a special segment that runs each Saturday morning. I think the title is Your Story: In Three Words. The segment runs in the final five minutes of the weekly programming. The show teams up an Indy Band’s music with home videos people submit. The video participants tell their story with nothing more than three written words.

Watching this is one of my absolute favorite Saturday traditions. This simple blend of music, people and three written words never fail to bring a tear to my eye. It is such an emotional experience. This morning I was sobbing to the image of a beautiful little redheaded girl picking herself up off the ground and taking wobbly steps toward her parents. She was a toddler and her legs were artificial. Her story’s three words: ALWAYS GET UP.

Assignment: ALWAYS GET UP!!
