Josh Groban - Thankful
"Thankful"
Some days we forget
To look around us
Some days 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
Some days we forget
To look around us
Some days 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
Good Morning and welcome to Thankful Thursday and the lyrics to this Josh Groban song very clearly express the feelings I have as I have so much to be thankful for. Times can be difficult and stressful but it is really up to each of us to be the change that we want to see in the world.
Morning brought rain and a chilly wind in my fair city, but I am warm and safe and have coffee and sweet gentle music - I am at home with myself.
I spent a lovely evening with friends - after dinner we sat and tackled a rather difficult crossword puzzle and finally completed it and all felt that our minds had been challenged. There was laughter and chatter - it was a lovely evening. I am thankful for friendship and laughter and for being able to spend time together.
I am constantly amazed and thankful for the technology that allows fast instant communication - often just for the pleasure of being in touch, but also for those times of illness and difficulty. To send love and prayers and care instantly around the world just astounds me.
I get to see the photographs of children growing and doing very well, I get to share the heartaches and victories and I am thankful.
I am thankful for my life - albeit changed, but it is life and I love it. I am blessed indeed with family and friends, shelter from the storm (both actual and emotional) and at this time of year I am grateful to be warm and cozy.
I hope that wherever you are in our world that you too have so much to be thankful for and can set about being the change you want to see in the world. I wish you and those you love peace and calm in an often troubled world. Live life to the full and enjoy the ride.
Be present to every moment of your life and be warm, be safe and be loved.
Thanks for stopping by and reading "The Musings from my Heart." - there is so much to be thankful for.
Love and hugs,
