@@columbusphotographer Hey that's an awesome question ❓ What drew me to this video. The video showed up in my feed and I HAD to watch. A bit ago I assisted with patient care. Many of my residents became family-ish and I miss them. This video is right up my alley with Pharrell's song "I'm Happy". His song has taken on A life of its own. This video is wholesome and wonderful to watch and I'm going to share it with others. Please don't let this video be just A one AnD done. This happiness is SO contagious 🎉

Hello...this brings me to tears cause when I was young I was a dancer. I took tap and dbl.tap, and ballet lessons from 4- 18 years old and I loved every stage of the popular dances. I even had my picture in the ROTO section of our Akron Beacon Journal in 1962. But now at 78 and health issues I can only watch and move my upper body. I love Pharrell William's song Happy 🎶 even if I can't get up and dance. Thanks for sharing. Bye from Ohio🌹

I am 77 this month and not in a care facility yet. I don’t move very well but this is the kind of thing that makes everyone feel happy. I am in the process of moving about a mile from my daughter from about 20 miles away. A neighbor was worried about me a week ago. I didn’t hear him knock, he called another neighbor who called my son, he called my daughter who txt me that she was leaving her house. My son drove 1000 miles and somewhere in this flurry of phone calls someone called the sheriff. All of this was going on and I didn’t know about it until the sheriff showed up at my house😂😂😂. I laughed but not because my kids were worried. Poor guys.

@@janetsmith2870 Well. Ma'am I'm 76, God willing. I will be 77 this August. Guess what I think I am Adorable and Cute, God blesses me every day. I am still in my own home. No care givers in sight, considering that both our parents were already in senior centers at my age. My youngest brother still drives a big rig all across this country, not only is he also adorable and cute. But a chick magnet even if I do say so myself. Don't try to heap us seniors in some box created by your own imagination. We deserve better than that.
