Be Thankful

I know I posted this a couple of months ago, but given the season I thought it was appropriate.

I'm off to visit the in-laws and won't be able to blog until Sunday night at the earliest. After five days in central Pennsylvania, I'm sure I'll have PLENTY to blog about. :) Until then, have a safe and happy Thanksgiving and remember to count your blessings. There's ALWAYS someone less fortunate than you and would love to be in your shoes. Tell someone you love how you feel; tomorrow's not promised and they just might need to hear it now more than ever.

Peace,
TP

Someone's standing in a welfare line
Or off the freeway with a hungry sign
Someone' streessin' 'bout to lose their mind
I gotta be thankful, thankful

Someone just became a single mother
Someone just lost a sister or brother
It's so important that we love each other
And be
Thankful, thankful


I've gotta take the time to say, that I'm
Thankful, thankful
For every single breath I take
I've gotta be thankful, thankful

Someone's sitting in a prison cell
Wasting away in a personal hell
Everybody's got their own story to tell
I've gotta be thankful, thankful

Man, I used to think I didn't have a lot
Now I realize just how much I've got
Now every day I'm gonna take the time to stop to be

Thankful, thankful
For every single breath I take
I've gotta be thankful, thankful

Any one of these so easily could have been me
But if it had not been for grace and mercy who knows where I'd be
I've been riding on this roller coaster ride
'Round and 'round I've see the up and downside
And I'm here to tell you that the secret of life is being

Thankful, thankful
For every single breath I take
I've gotta be thankful, thankful
