...giving thanks...

"There are many things I am thankful for

I can find them near and far.

There are many things I am thankful for.

Let me tell you what they are,

I'm thankful for the earth

I'm thankful for the sea

I'm thankful for my friends

and I'm thankful to be me.

I'm thankful for the sun

I'm thankful for each tree

I'm thankful for my home

and I'm thankful to be me.

I'm thankful for my food

I'm thankful to be free

I'm thankful for the stars

and I'm thankful to be me."

--"There are many things I am thankful for" by Hap Palmer

The words are simple.  The feelings uncomplicated.  Sung by the sweet voices of K-3 graders the emotion is palpable and cannot fail to touch that place in your heart that yearns for the simple joy that comes when you are just "thankful to be me".

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
