Michael Jackson

Tonight driving home from the grocery store, I was stuck alone at the one intersection in the universe that hates me. I don't think I have EVER hit a green light there ~ yes I'm talking to you 900 East and 6600 South!

While perusing the radio, I happened to stop upon the Michael Jackson song, "Man in the Mirror". And since the stoplight chose to skip the left-hand turn green arrow which I was waiting for, I sat there and listened to this whole song. I never thought a song by Michael Jackson would evoke such emotion out of me, but I was really feeling the words tonight....

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change

I love that we have the power and freedom to choose who we are, and who we want to become.

During this song I found myself asking, Do I make the changes I need to, to become better? A better mother? Wife? Sister? Friend? Daughter? Aunt? Do I know what those changes need to be? More patient? More kind? More loving? More accepting?

And what would the world be like if everyone were brave enough to look in the mirror at themselves? See themselves honestly.

And then 'make that change'?
