Watch: Mr. Rogers Remixed

httpv://youtu.be/OFzXaFbxDcM

I grew up on Mr. Rogers.  I remember being “too old” to be watching a kids show, and watching anyway because his show was so calming.  All the other kids shows were great, but their frenetic pace was sometimes too much.  And he always talked about each person being special.   For so many gay kids struggling with who they are and how they fit in, that was an important message.  Mr. Rogers was never judgmental.

This remix from PBS Digital Studios brings back a lot of memories and reminds us to think and be curious – something I think is lacking in a lot of people’s lives.  I think this weekend I’ll grow something interesting in the “garden of my mind.”
