There is a song I love by Josh Groban which is “Thankful”. The first time I listened to this great artist was on a plane last year, and I just loved his music. Skimming through his album Noel, I came across this song Thankful and after listening to it, I felt moved inside. I am quite a thankful person for everything I have in my life, but listening to the song reinforced how much I value being thankful. The song also made me think about all the things (including family) I am fortunate to have in my life, and made me also think about those who are less fortunate and what I can do to make a difference in their life.


Below is the first part of the song I love, and also a link to the entire lyrics and video of this wonderful melody:

“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”
