I've been sat in front of this white screen with a blinking cursor for an hour now. Nothing to write, so why blog?
However, as I click the cross, I suddenly hear the radio. I'm absolutely captivated for 5 minutes, as Adele's Live Lounge appearance is played back. In particular, a song called 'Someone Like You'.
Now I adore Adele - her voice is one of the best to have come out of the UK for quite some time. She's about to break America with it too. 2011 is going to be very exciting for her. But this song is just incredible - it's lyrics are so profound and so true, and it's no wonder that the minute I popped it into Google, hundreds of Tweets saying exactly the same came up. This is making waves.
But on my travels into the world of YouTube, I found another video. As many of you will have seen across social networking sites, Chris Medina featured on the new season of American Idol this week. I won't ruin the story, but it is one of the most heart-wrenching, beautiful stories you will see on a programme like this for a very long time.
Sometimes, it's things like these two videos that help put life back into perspective. It's not all about the petty arguments we have, or the abusive emails we send, or even the fact we all make things worse than they seem.
You are alive. Healthy. And msot of all, loved. Enjoy what you have, instead of what you want.
