celebrating self or others
Thank you for this day Spirit, thank you for this day. This wonderful, glorious, beautiful day. Thank you for this day! These lyrics were a song I have sung many times based on the music of Karen Drucker. I often find it easier to give thanks on a beautiful sunny day with a blue sky…
