Celebrate The Small Things - Welcome To November!

Wow this year has gone by fast so far. It is almost time to start listening to Holiday music, the decorations are already up in most stores, and I am not so sure what to think about that.

But today I am celebrating one part of that season - the music. I love music with a passion. As a rule though I do not listen to any holiday music until the day after Samhain/Halloween. So this was the day.

And I ran accross a favorite, "Thankful" by Josh Groban (from the CD Noel)

Here are some of the lyrics (which I thought where fitting for this celebrating blog)



Thankful

Somedays we forget
To look around us
Somedays we can't see
The joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Look beyond ourselves
There's so much sorrow
It's way too late to say
I'll cry tomorrow
Each of us must find our truth
It's so long overdue

So for tonight we pray for 
What we know can be
And every day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Even with our differences 
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each other's light

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day we hope for 
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though this world needs so much more

There's so much to be thankful for



To me, for tonight, this just says it all.

Have a wonderful weekend!

    Sorry, the sound on my computer isn't working, so I can't hear it. But I can read the lyrics.
    Best wishes,
