THE GIFT OF GRATITUDE

    The feast is finished, the leftovers have been dispatched, and the dishes all washed and put away. Thanksgiving Day may be over, but I choose to foster an ongoing attitude of gratitude and make everyday a Thanks Living Day. So, in that spirit, you're invited to watch this four-minute segment from my talk last Sunday on cultivating gratitude, followed by "Everything's A Gift" - a new song written for the occasion.

     It's a live recording, so it's not as polished as a studio recording might have been, but thanks to the technical wizardry and generosity of Eddie Wise and Kiko Guerrero, I think the magic of the moment comes through quite well - and I trust you will agree.

EMBRACE THE GIFT

     Or perhaps you'd rather simply sit and simmer in silence, feeling warm, fluid waves of gratitude ripple through you and out into the world. In any case, I hope that you, too, find yourself feeling grateful to be alive, loved and loving - today, and every day. Happy Thanks Living!

 With joy,

Rudi

PS: To further help celebrate the spirit of Thanks Living, vocalist Sarah Gabriel and I are cooking up an extra big helping of songs that we'll perform (and hopefully, record) with the Circle Band this Sunday. Join us for what promises to be a particularly joyful Sunday Circle!
