I was listening to this song today as, you guessed it I was running and it inspired me to ask myself some questions....It is amazing the clarity you find in running, which is the reason I love it. I know that none of us are perfect, but there is always room for improvement and not just for the little things, but for the big things.
I have been cooking all week for a family that lost their 20 month old baby and it made me think about many things I take for granted in my life.....the ironic thing is that I don't even know this family well, but I felt compelled to help somehow. Not out of guilt, or fear for my own children's lives, but out of instinct. Maybe it is because I have seen many little lives leave this world and I have felt the physical pain of a parents love as they have to say their last goodbyes, I am not sure. I guess that is what the human spirit is all about. It is that whole "full circle" thing in life.
This song is on the play list at the bottom of this blog, it is track number 7. Give it a listen and think about it. No, I haven't gone crazy or soft, this blog just happens to be the spot in my life that I have chosen to express my inner thoughts.
Yeah, no adult conversation all week during the day has really taken it's toll. I am like the movie Overboard, where she is staring at the wall catatonic and mumbling by 4 in the afternoon, so whoever reads this blog is getting a mouthful............

If you knew that you would die today If you saw the face of God and love
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that love can't break your heart When you're down so low you cannot fall
Would you change would you change?
How bad how good does it need to get? How many losses how much regret? What chain reaction What cause and effect
Makes you turn around Makes you try to explain Makes you forgive and forget
Makes you change?
Makes you change?
If you knew that you could be alone Knowing right being wrong
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that you would find a truth That brings a pain that can't be soothed
Would you change?
Would you change?
How bad how good does it need to get? How many losses how much regret? What chain reaction What cause and effect
Makes you turn around Makes you try to explain Makes you forgive and forget
Makes you change ?
Makes you change ?
Are you so upright you can't be bent if it comes to blows Are you so sure you won't be crawling If not for the good why risk falling
Why risk falling If everything you think you know Makes your life unbearable
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you'd broken every rule and vow And hard times come to bring you down
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that you would die today If you saw the face of God and love
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you saw the face of God and love If you saw the face of God and love
Would you change?
Would you change?
