Being Thankful by Not Giving Up…
On Dreams
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.
~Buddha
~Aerosmith, with Southern California Children’s Chorus: Dream On (5:04)

On Love
If a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to get.
~Frank A Clark
~Morgan James: If You Don’t Know Me By Now (3:50)

On Life
They both seemed to understand that describing it was beyond their powers, the gratitude that spreads through your body when a burden gets lifted, and the sense of homecoming that follows, when you suddenly remember what it feels like to be yourself.
~Tom Perrotta
~LeAnn Rimes, with Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angles: The Rose (6:21)

Prewritten: signal, chorus
~BarTalk:
Hourglass
Pastel flowers peacock glorious
Early sunset’s embarrassed blush
Adds new voice to a swelling chorus
Heralds the evening’s welcome hush
A strand of sand from night’s impend
Sails directly south from Future Town
From Coming Soon to That Was Then
Down time’s passage Narrows of Now
A rustling wind signals the going-away
Grateful answer to a pinwheel day
~
B Flat Ballad #24
The moment said be still
The music said to dance
Dewy eyed glances drill
Signal wanting love’s advance
Promise on-point harmony
Flatter true love’s melody
But then the contrapuntal chorus
Spreads the truth entire before us
Spoke of Mister Rabbit’s habit
Couldn’t help it gotta have it
Thus the death of true romance
Upending hope love’s last chance
