In reply to the discussion: I was sorta counting my blessings this morning---I have food, clothing and a warm dry place to sleep [View all]majdrfrtim
(317 posts)32. I immediately thought of the song, "Grateful," by Amanda McBroom
I'm not sure if I can link to a YouTube version:

Here's the first verse:
"Ive got a roof over my head;
Ive got a warm place to sleep.
Some nights I lie awake counting gifts,
Instead of counting sheep.
Ive got a heart that can hold love;
Ive got a mind that can think.
There may be times when I lose the light,
And let my spirits sink.
But I cant stay depressed,
When I remember how Im blessed!
Grateful, grateful, truly grateful I am.
Grateful, grateful, truly blessed and duly grateful."
Ive got a warm place to sleep.
Some nights I lie awake counting gifts,
Instead of counting sheep.
Ive got a heart that can hold love;
Ive got a mind that can think.
There may be times when I lose the light,
And let my spirits sink.
But I cant stay depressed,
When I remember how Im blessed!
Grateful, grateful, truly grateful I am.
Grateful, grateful, truly blessed and duly grateful."
As an alcoholic looking forward to my 43rd sober NYE in a row, thanks for reminding me of this song, Atticus!
(I believe the song is definitely worth listening to in its entirety.)
