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!
