thankful thursday - i'm alive

Kenny Chesney feat. Dave Matthews
So damn easy to say that life's so hard
Everybody's got their share of battle scars
As for me I'd like to thank my lucky stars that I'm alive and well
It'd be easy to add up all the pain
And all the dreams you've sat and watch go up in flames
Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
But not me... I'm alive
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm alive and wellI'm alive and well
Stars are dancin' on the water here tonight
It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight
This motor's caught its wind and brought me back to life
Now I'm alive and well
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
Now I'm alive and well
Yeah I'm alive and well
i heard this song on the radio on my one hour long journey into work this morning, thanks to traffic. it really made me think - i should be so thankful to be alive and well. nothing else really matters.
not everyone is alive and well and like the song says, "everybody's got their share of battle scars." life does suck, but if you're alive and well - be thankful.
because - not everyone alive and well today. i've been following the story of stellan on mckmama's blog. bless his poor little heart, today is his first birthday and he's not doing so well. he's alive, but not well. keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Love this song! Usually I hear it in the car and it's like a relaxer that makes me want to fall asleep! haha
