ReplyDeleteSome of the words are downright sexy. Like that as well.
It's funny- even reading those words put a smile on my face!
ReplyDeleteWhat went all wrong?? MJ was so amazing.
ReplyDeleteLove the video and the lyrics are true. We do need to enjoy things- or relish in things. :)

I like "revel" and "zest."
ReplyDeleteHi Bish .. sorry about the troublesome times - but enjoying yourself per the Jacksons .. is great - sometimes we just need some 'funky' music to cheers us up...
ReplyDeleteHope you can pick yourself up, dust yourself off and enjoy some fairy dust in your life ..
Happy weekend .. and that list is amazing .. cheers Hilary
All those choices! I'll have to consider which gives me the most JOY! Certainly that song brings lightness to the heart.
