Today I'm gonna to try to change the world

Today I was driving back from visiting with Brent for the weekend and I heard this song on the radio and I instantly wanted to share it with you all.

When people ask me why I signed up for Joints in Motion I try to explain that even if I love what I do for a living: it definitely doesn't change the world to publish a magazine that encourages a materialistic lifestyle. I want to do more with the time I have been given in this world and since Arthritis is something that affects many people around me especially my hero I thought why not help change the world a little bit.

This has been a great experience definitely tough at times. Some days I want to quit cause it's been a week without a donation or because I just don't want to run anymore but then I have to remember that those who are suffering from arthritis don't get to just quit they have to keep trucking through life and I need to accomplish this goal. I often think of what it will be like to cross that finish line in Greece and I don't think I can even imagine the feeling.

So today I'm going to try to change the world. Will you please help me and donate?

I found the lyrics for those of you who are interested:

TODAY I'M GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD
GONNA TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME
I'VE MADE MY RESOLUTION
I’VE OPENED UP MY EYES
TODAY I'M GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD

I'M GONNA SAY HELLO TO MY NEIGHBOR
GREET HIM WITH A SMILE
SHAKE THE HAND OF A STRANGER
SIT AND TALK FOR A WHILE
TELL SOMEONE I LOVE THEM
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
TODAY I'M GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD

(REPEAT CHORUS)

GONNA MAKE SURE MY CHILDREN
KNOW THERES A RIGHT AND WRONG
I’LL NEVER TURN MY BACK
ON THOSE OF US WHO NEED SOMEONE
I’M GONNA TRY TO SEE MYSELF
THROUGH ANOTHERS EYES
TODAY IM GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD

(REPEAT CHORUS)

TODAY I'M GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD
TODAY I'M GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD
NOT FOR ME, BUT FOR THOSE I'LL LEAVE BEHIND
I'VE MADE MY RESOLUTION
CHANGE IT ONE DAY AT TIME
TODAY I'M GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD
