I love Thanksgiving. Not only do I love the time of year, the crisp clean air, the colorful explosion of foliage etc… but what the holiday means. For me it’s an introspective time during which I do a lot of soul searching and learn a lot about myself.
In today’s fast paced society in which we all, myself included, are always pressing to get ahead, climb the next mountain, slay the next dragon, we often forget to be thankful for what we already have. When I think about this, I think about how grateful I am for good friends, comfortable surroundings, and helpful neighbors. I’m thankful for the inspiration I get when I read stories about heroism in other peoples lives… I’m thankful for a personal relationship with someone whom I trust and love very much… I’m thankful for the freedom I have to pursue my dreams… Not too shabby! I realize what faulty thinking it is to be dissatisfied and complaining, and how much more healthy it is to be grateful and press on. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Hi Gregory
I decided to reply to your Thanksgiving Blog, because its my favorite time of year. I always visit my family in Staten Island, but after I experience the Sandy Storm..not sure I will be returning to America next year. I too is grateful for good friends and most of all comfortable surroundings & helpful neighbors. And I’m happy to return to Australia..safe..
& dry. I see you uploaded the song Without You which means the most to me on your site (I’m listening to it now, but its too short=) Earlier in the year, my husband was in the hospital, recovery from a stroke & I played that song for him everyday..all day..and it gave me strength and him hope. Now he’s good as new. We realize without each other..we are nothing.
Thank You for your wonderful songs
