I wanted to end this year reflecting on how much has happened and to reflect on the many bounteous blessings we have been given. I have endeavored this past year to cultivate the attitude of gratitude and have been richly blessed because of it. I have come across music, poetry, stories, anecdotes, scriptures, and my own experiences in trying to live it.

I wanted to share this video clip on my blog and tried to upload it on you tube, I guess you tube has the power to change it at any time. I will be researching other modes of accomplishing what I want. I came across a singer Sufjan Stevens who sings a hymn on gratitude that I like. His video clip has the lion on it. I also like his song To Be Alone with You. I have not figured out how to upload it. My favorite method of sharing the folk song Come Thou Fount was with a video clip that has the picture of the family on it. If by chance you see it on the side - give it a try. The others are also great songs.
