Man in the Mirror
Song by Michael Jackson

I’m gonna make a change
For once in my life
It’s gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
As I turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin’ my mind
I see the kids in the street with not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind, pretending not to see their needs?
A summer’s disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man’s soul
They follow each other on the wind, ya know
‘Cause they got nowhere to go
That’s why I want you to know
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
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Uh-huh
I’ve been a victim of a selfish kinda love
It’s time that I realize
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me pretending that they’re not alone?
A willow deeply scarred, somebody’s broken heart
And a washed-out dream (a washed-out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya see
‘Cause they got no place to be
That’s why I’m starting with me
I’m starting with the man in the mirror (who?)
I’m asking him to change his ways (who?)
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’m starting with the man in the mirror (who?)
I’m asking him to change his ways (who?)
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 that change
I’m starting with the man in the mirror (oh, yeah)
I’m asking him to change his ways (oh, you better change)
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
You gotta get it right while you got the time
‘Cause when you close your heart (you can’t)
Then you close your (your) mind (that man, that man)
With the man in the mirror, oh, yeah (that man, that man)
I’m asking him to change his ways (that man, that man, that man)
Oh, you better change (you know, that man)
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 that change
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na
(Ooh) gonna feel real good, yeah (oh, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (na-na-na), yeah, yeah (na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
Oh-oh, oh, no
I’m gonna make a change
It’s gonna feel real good, shamone (change)
Just lift yourself, you know
You’ve got to start with yourself (yeah)
I gotta make that change today
(Man in the mirror) you’ve got to
You got to start with yourself, brother
(Yeah) you know
I’ve got to be that man, that man
(Man in the mirror) you’ve got to
You got to move, shamone, shamone
You got to stand up (yeah), stand up (make that change), stand up
Stand up and lift yourself now (man in the mirror)
Go make that change, shamone (man in the mirror)
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know (change)
Make that change

“Who’s That Girl”
(from “Who’s That Girl” soundtrack)

Who’s that girl?
Who’s that girl?

When you see her, say a prayer
And kiss your heart goodbye
She’s trouble, in a word get closer to the fire
Run faster, her laughter burns you up inside
You’re spinning ’round and ’round
You can’t get up, you try but you can’t

¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)
¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)

You try to avoid her, fate is in your hands
She’s smiling, an invitation to the dance
Her heart is on the street, tu corazón es suyo
Now you’re falling at her feet
You try to get away but you can’t

¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)
¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)

Light up my life, so blind I can’t see
Light up my life, no one can help me now
Run faster, her laughter burns you up inside
You’re spinning ’round and ’round
You can’t get up, you try but you can’t

¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)
¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)

Peace Out Peeps have a safe evening. 😎

@sheba2011

Not a good day to spray the weeds and grass in our planter. Very windy, hot and humid. Will try again tomorrow. Meanwhile I did tackle the laundry and dryer. Next on the list is back to the KP.

Didn’t see hubs today. I actually needed to tackle some things here before deciding on the bathroom remodel. I am still working on the clutter and the empty boxes are becoming very handy. In a few days I will be contacting the people in charge of the bazaar for December. I have tons of things Once the kitchen is organized will tackle the master badroom & bath. Hope to get the spraying done before the heat, humidity and the UV take over.

Have a great evening

Sheba, yes, many Lizards in the yard. Baby ones also. I think they are territorial.
Hubs tried to pet them a few times and they make this arm pumping motion to try and scare him off. I won’t touch them. We also used to have a lot of black widows around the exterior but I haven’t seen them this year. The Doves are a pair so yesterday one flew off and I could see the mate staring me down from a Palm Tree farther away. Taking out the trash is causing a stir…lol.

I’m with you and Shoelady on the Pasta. Love the Pasta la Vista! Had some last night. Maybe we all had Pasta on Wed then?

Well, ShebaDaus have a great evening. Love the just breath!

Sheba, yes you sure are…. Sheba Daus!
Your pieces are all beauties.

@sheba2011

Congrats to Colorado, onward and upward.👏

You are a woman after my own heart. Like you, if I win a good handful of money in a casino, I am one and done, too! Everyone always tells me you’re playing on their money now. No, no, no – once I win, it is now MY money and I’m not giving it back. Off I go to buy a piece of jewelry or a new outfit.💍👗 I guess you could say I’m not a real gambler and I’ll never win a huge jackpot but I’m okay with that.

Mom and sis should be on their way home. I’ll run up over the weekend to hear about their quick trip.

Stay cool, the heat is coming here. I enjoyed our two weeks of Spring.😕 Sending big hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈i am multi-tasking today going back and forth. I am
working on a new project. 💕

Just a little of this and a little of that. I love your “pasta la vista.” I think even for me
that is a new one. 💕Hmmm…

I am thrilled your mom won a nice chuck of money go mom. 🎈😎

Oz is nice today with rain in a day or two. 😎💕Colorado is off and running in Hockey. 💕🎈
I am thrilled but I am also thrilled for Minnesota.

Sending cool rays to you and Jake. 🎈😎💕

@taci,

Good morning in S. California I like saying that to you. 😎💕🎈
I read your post from last night and did you say you have Lizards?
Oh my be careful and I feed critters of all kinds LOL!

i love the Doves glad they are around. I have one neighbor who am I friends
with well he has eleven bird baths and feeders out. I like that he did it very nicely
and it blends in with his backyard decor. 😎🎈

Poppy is wagging his tail.

Taci you have enough critters on your hand. 😎Enjoy the trails.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie I read your post from last night.
My you have a lot going in with the Rehab Center. I hope everything works out for
both you and your husband.

I hope you are able to get in touch with someone about the blanket.

I agree with you and I am sure everyone does about the price of just about everything.
Goodness I have never seen it so bad. I am glad I don’t need much. I for one will be
glad when the world if possible is back to normal. 😎I have had enough I don’t have the
Telly on much. I am keeping busy.

Oodie wishing you a nice day with hubby if possible and I hope your flowers and plants
come out beautiful. 😎💕OZ will have rain in a day or two and that always helps my yards.
