A Change Will Do You Good

In the words of Sheryl Crow... a change will do you good.  She wasn't the first one to say it but is probably the most popular icon to have quoted it in my lifetime.  That's what happened in my not-so-little village last night.  In one of the most talked about mayorial elections to date, the incumbant was knocked off the podium.  Politics aside, it was fascinating to watch as both parties struggled for what they wanted... a seat in the Big House.  But what I didn't like was the way they both ran their campaigns.  Neither one seemed to be "for" anything; rather they were just against the other guy.  It wasn't a campaign based on platforms or issues so I had no idea what each candidate stood for.  Seems there is a lot of that going around.... going against something instead of FOR something.  It's almost a default.  As I ponder this a little more I invite you to look at your own existence and ask yourself, what do you stand for?
