American Idol and In Loving Memory....

I love love love American Idol.
I have really gotten into it this year.
My favorite guy is Mike
My favorite Girl is.....Shiobhan
I really liked Lace....I think she is so cute.

I loved the song that was sung by Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato
The words really made me think

They say the beat of butterflies wings
can set off a storm a world away
What if they're right and the smallest of things
can power the strongest hurricane
What if it all begins inside
We'd hold the key that turns the tide
CHORUS
Just a pebble in the water(ooh)
Can set the sea in motion (ooh)
A simple act of kindness(ooh)
Can stir the widest ocean
If we show a little love(oh a little love)
Heaven knows what we could change
oh yeah
so throw a pebble in the water
and make a wave
make a wave
make a wave
make a wave
The single joys to take a stand
Reach out your hand to someone in need
(help somebody)
Don't fool yourself and say you can't
You never know what can grow
(what can grow)
from just one sea yeahhh
So come with me and seize the day
this world may never be the same
CHORUS
Just a pebble in the water
(just a pebble in the water)
Can set the sea in motion
(can set the sea in motion)
A simple act of kindness(ohh)
Can stir the widest ocean
(can stir the widest ocean)
If we show a little love
(if we show a little love)
Heaven knows what we could change
(heaven knows what we could change )
So throw a pebble in the water
(throw a pebble in the water)
make a wave
make a wavemake
a wave yea yea yea yea yeahhh
make a wave
make a wave
make a wave
Show a little love and make a wave
seize the day yea
Make a wave
Heaven knows what we could change(ohhh)
So let's show a little love
and then we'll know what we could change
So throw a pebble in the water

We can make a difference each and every day. Not in huge (Oprah) ways but it simple ways.
A friendly smile, a phone call, a visit to a friend. So many times when we do something nice for someone, they, in turn, do something for someone else..... and so forth.......

Today is the day one year ago that my sweet father in law passed away. I miss him. I still can hear him when I would walk in and he would say....."HEY JUDE" I will never forget him and those words will be forever etched in my heart. Some day I will be able to tell him again how much I love him and that I am so grateful for his son.
