Beautiful World

I am thankful to be alive and healthy and for a family that is full of love.

What are you thankful for?  

I love Thanksgiving weekend, not only because we usually spend it will our families sharing wonderful meals.  I love this holiday simply because its not clouded with an abundance of presents, decorations and obligations that seem to deter from the true meaning of the Christmas season. During the Thanksgiving weekend I usually get the opportunity to stop and think about how truly blessed I am and think about what I am thankful for in my life.

Hope you had an opportunity to think about and share what you are thankful for this past weekend.

I recently came across a new song and it is one that I enjoy more and more every time I hear it. Its called Beautiful World by Dierks Bentley featuring Patty Griffin.

Lyrics

There's tears and there's fears and there's loses and crosses to bear

and sometimes the best we can do it just whisper a prayer

And press on because...there's so much to live for and so much to love

It's a beautiful world.  Say what you will but I still believe its a beautiful world. 

And I know I'm not dreaming it, I just choose to believe in it.

So I hate that I sometimes miss what's right in front of my eyes.

And I know at the end of my road I'll be wanting more time.

Just another sunset...

One more kiss from my baby a smile from a friend.

Its a beautiful world.
