So much to be thankful for

I haven't listened to as much Christmas music this year as I usually do. I really need to spend a whole day (or weekend) at Mom's uploading all my favorite CDs to my ipod... but that hasn't happened.

Still I have some of my favorites (The Carpenters, Josh Groba, Garth Brooks, Mariah Carey, Bing Crosby... I could go on) on my ipod and when I feel like belting out some tunes in my car I pop it in.

The one song I keep hitting repeat on though is Josh Groban singing Thankful. His voice is beautiful and somehow soulful and deep. I love it. And the words to this song just make me want to cry and yet I love them. And so I'll share them with you here. To remind you all how thankful I am for each of you. And to set us off on a good note for 2010.


Thankful
written by Carole Bayer Sager, David Foster, and Richard Page
sung by- Josh Groban

Some days we forget to look around us
Some days we can't see the joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselvesWe 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
We're 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 others love

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
