Maybe it's because Robin is a breast cancer survivor whose story I have followed even before I learned that I had breast cancer myself. I'm not sure. Maybe it's because I am a survivor like Robin and appreciate each and every day so much more now. I'm not sure. But when India sang "It's a Beautiful Day" to her, I was moved and have had the lyrics stuck in my head all day.
What I AM sure about is that I have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving - more so than any other Thanksgiving in the past. And if you are reading this blog post over the Thanksgiving holiday, know that YOU, my friend, are one of my many blessings that I am thankful for this year.
Here are the lyrics to the song . . .
Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we've taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now
Wake up in the morning
And get out of bed
Start making a mental list in my head
Of all of the things that I am grateful for
Early in the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today
Early in the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my heart and
I'm gonna do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day
La la la la la la la la la
It's a Beautiful Day Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we've taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now
Wake up in the morning
And get out of bed
Start making a mental list in my head
Of all of the things that I am grateful for
Early in the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today
Early in the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my heart and
I'm gonna do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day
La la la la la la la la la
Life is a challenge not a competition
You can still smell the roses and be on a mission
Just take a moment to get in touch with your heart
Sometimes you feel like you've got something to prove
Remind yourself that there's only one you
Just take a moment to give thanks of who you are
Early in the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today
Early in the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my heart and
I'm gon' do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day
La la la la la la la la la
It's a Beautiful Day
Let's make this a wonderful
Let's make this a powerful
Let's make this a Beautiful Day
It's a Beautiful Day
Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we've taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now
Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we've taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now
I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!
