Thankful

Somedays we forget
To look around us
Somedays we can't see
The joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Look beyond ourselves
There's so much sorrow
It's way too late to say
I'll cry tomorrow
Each of us must find our truth
It's so long overdue

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And every day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each other's light

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though this world needs so much more

There's so much to be thankful for

(Josh Groban - Thankful lyrics)

"Football is just a game. What matters is what you play for."

I think that it is quite fitting that my first blog post would include a football picture. Yes, I LOVE football! Yesterday, I drove to Rexburg to visit my younger sister, Krystle. We had a great time! We went to dinner at Wingers (I love "sticky fingers"), went shopping (we both have some new cute shoes), and went to the movie, The Express. I had heard good things about this movie, but I thought it was even better than what people had told me. Ernie Davis has become an inspiration for me. He lived a wonderful life, amid many challenges. I was not prepared for how the movie would end; it helped me recommit to do something with my life that I have felt I've needed to do for some time, but have been sluggish with. I am so thankful for the lives of others that are a positive influence for the rest of us. I am also grateful to those people who help share the stories of these people's lives. Thank you!
