Coach Ken Donaldson on Giving Thanks
Giving Thanks
So I’m givin’ thanks, oh yes I am
And I’m writing it now with my paper and pen
Gotta be thankful for the way I’m livin’
Gotta be grateful for this Thansgiving
For many great people who just support me
For the place I live and just bein’ free
For the air I breathe and the land I walk
For just being able to sing, shout and talk
And gotta be thankful for my creative spirit
As well as morning dove, oh I love to hear it
Gotta be grateful for the work I do
For my clients and my colleagues…I love them too
And how ‘bout the sunrise and the great sunsets
This life is great, but it gets better yet
Grateful to be able to go to new places
And to meet new people and see new faces
And surely I’m grateful for all my possessions
And having good friends who’ll hear my confessions
And I’m even thankful for the losses and the grief
‘Cause when I let go, I always get relief
(And I’m even grateful for all my past romantic love
‘Cause today I do know, no longer must I shove)
But most of all what I’m thankful for
Is this gracious life that just gives more and more
I shout to the heavens and today I sing, “Thanks!!”
I’m investing now in gratitude, you can take that to the bank
