Last year this time Rebecca brought home the Josh Grobin "Noel" CD and I fell in love with it. I really feel in love with the song Thankful and it so fitting with this time of year. I just thought I would share it with you. Happy Thanksgiving!

"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

I love that song. It is my favorite on that CD and part of my blog playlist, because it is relevant all the time, not just at the holidays.

Love that song, so much so I just posted something on my blog and created a 3 song playlist with this song on it. I did this before I saw your blog and obviously you love it to. Thanks for the words, it really makes you think...
