UNITED KINGDOM — Two minutes, 49 seconds of pure joy. That's the only way to describe this video. It'll make you smile, solve all your problems, and can cure your case of the Mondays.
Meet Daphne, an elderly woman equipped with her trusty cane and mask who's out to make life joyful.
This video showcases Daphne's amazing dance moves as she grooves to the hit Elvis Presley song "Falling in Love with You," magically sung by a performer in the streets of the United Kingdom.
Daphne's a master as she swings her cane, raises her hands to the heavens, and sways with an enthusiasm I haven't felt in years. She's as graceful as a ballerina — and even when she's not, she's having more fun than most adults let themselves have. She's in her own world, and it's clear her joy is infectious as a small group of bystanders gathers around to offer a storm of applause by the video's conclusion.
As Instagram user thejasonallanuk, the performer in the clip, explains, "Me & Daphne Full Video ❤️. This video is currently at 7.2 million views on TikTok and I’m overwhelmed at how such a simple video can be loved and shared by so many people! Mark my words I’m trying my best to find Daphne and let her know how much joy she has spread around the world ❤️."
In such a trying time, it's easy to forget how any moment can be beautiful, dance-worthy and exuberant. So let's take a page from Daphne's book and fall in love with the little things.
