Music Sunday: Lean on Me

One can't help but think about the devastation in Japan today although it doesn't seem to be getting as much attention as the earthquake in Haiti did only a little over one year ago. Perhaps that is only my perception. At any rate, it is in this type of crisis we need to remember that we can call on one another for help and support, no matter our circumstance or standing in life.

I've chosen two versions of the same song today for Music Sunday. The original 'Lean on Me' with the fabulous Mr. Bill Withers. Timeless and moving. But I also wanted to send a message of hope and I think the cast of Glee does that so well, with the same song. 

My wish today is for hope, optimism and faith in the kindness of our world.
