A Mindful Gratitude
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" never fails to get me.
If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is "thank you", that would suffice.
- Meister Eckhart
Wishing you all (and not just the Americans) a Happy Thanksgiving everyday!

This is Melanie, too lazy to sign in... I love that song, too. :) I have it on CD somewhere around here.
Happy Thanksgiving, Kevin. I hope you're having a great day!

God, I've missed you! Yes, I say something is wrong with you if that song DOESN'T get you.
Happy Thanksgiving, Kevin!!

i was alwaya fascinated by his size...then he took up this ukulele and opened his mouth to sing and i figured he'd have this deep gruff voice...and instead such a warm friendly tune came out!!!

Hope it was a glorious one filled with love,family, friends and many rainbows!

Right back atcha, big guy.
Kevin,
Thank you for reminding me of the importance of IZ in my world.
I've posted my favorite tune.

I think the bare lifetime prayer requirement should include saying "sorry".
Happy Thanksgiving big boy.
It's a tear jerker... every damn time.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Mister Blister,
Kristin
Moving and wonderful. Songs like this (and like Louis Armstrong's 'Wonderful World") speak to the optimism we have in the face of tragedy...as well as the ability to be grateful for the small glimpses of beauty in our lives when it would be so easy to concentrate on the negative stuff. Thanks, Kevin.
Love the song. Used it as my wedding march actually! Sigh.
This song means a lot to me - and just before my mom was wheeled into surgery last week, she referenced it (again, like she always does) and how she'd be singing it under anesthesia and then came the tears, from her and me and my dad - oh that song!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you Kevin and thank you!
my kids and I listen to this all the time in the car. I love it. gives me chills all the time for some reason (the good kind)
