Grateful
Grateful: A Song of Giving Thanks | John Bucchino
41 posts | 1 to read
CD with an original recording by Art Garfunkel included /center Once in a while, a perfect union of words and music creates a transcendent song that soars from the heart and speaks to every soul ... Grateful is such an anthem -- a loving reminder of the gifts available to us when we approach life with gratitude. It is a song that inspires courage, compassion, and hope. In this exquisite picture book and accompanying CD recorded by Art Garfunkel, Anna-Lisa Hakkarainen's radiant paintings bring John Bucchino's words to life. A joyous celebration of the beauty of the seasons, the wonders of nature, and the blessings of faith, here is a gift to be treasured by children and adults of all ages.

I‘ve been remiss on posting but I am truly #grateful for a wonderful weekend in Chicago with knitting friends from around the country. The good feels and rejuvenated knitting mojo will last a long while. And three of us were reading Carrie Soto is Back, so it doubled as a book club! I‘m very grateful to have found this group, almost 14 years. ❤️ @Eggs

JenReadsAlot I love this! 2y

1. My family. I am so lucky to live with 3 people who never cease to amaze me and always crack me up.
2. Coffee. It‘s April and I am a teacher.
3. Anti-anxiety meds. I really don‘t think I could have continued being a teacher without them.

I‘m getting a late start on this, but at least the month is not half over yet! I should be able to get caught up. Growing up, my family moved around a lot, so I‘m thankful that my husband and I were able to give our kids one home to grow up in. The kids are grown and on the West Coast (😡) but we still live here with our memories❤️. I‘m also grateful for my library in this #home ! 😁

I was looking at my pile of favorite books of all time, and I felt this huge rush of gratitude. How amazing is it that we live in a world with such wonderful books!?! I left a lot of things behind when I started my new life...but I have so so much and I'm grateful for all of it. My health. Freedom. Kitties. Books. New job. My litsy family. 💞 I love you all so much and I am so happy to be a part of such a wonderful and loving community! 😄📚

Texreader So glad you are here too! We do live in a glorious time when, if we love a book—or even just like a book, we can own it!! Brilliant. I love keeping track of my all time faves. And it‘s a very big deal when I add a book to that rarified list. 7y
Texreader And I have to agree with The Historian being in your stack of faves! It‘s marvelous 7y

Branwen @Texreader Yes! I completely agree! I feel such a sense of joy and excitement when I add a book to my favorites list! It's such a pleasure to be able to own your favorites and read them whenever you wish! 😀 @Jinjer Thank you so much! 💞 That is so awesome? Are there any others in my stack that would make it to your favorite pile? The Sparrow is so beautiful and heartbreaking, isn't it? 7y
Jinjer The only other one that I‘ve read is Shadow of the Wind, however I can‘t make out the title of the book on the very bottom or the 3 books in between Strange the Dreamer & The Nightingale. Could u give me the titles of those 4? 7y
Branwen @Jinjer Of course! 😃 The very bottom one is The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker. The three in between are The River of No Return by Bee Ridgeway, Moth and Spark by Anne Leonard, and The Heart's Invisible Furies by John Boyne! I hope that helps! 😀💞 7y
Branwen @Jinjer Oh! I just realized three were cut from the top! The three on top that you can't see are Labor Day by Joyce Maynard, The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje, and Suite Francais by Irene Nemirovsky 7y
Jinjer Thank you! I‘ve only read the two I mentioned so will take a look at the others & see if any grab me! 7y
Branwen @Jinjer Yay! That's fantastic! Let me know if you end up choosing any of them! 😀 7y

Congratulations to @DebbieGrillo for hitting 1,000!!! Thank you so much for #payingitforward and offering the #grateful1kgiveaway

I love Litsy because I have never been involved in a more welcoming community of honest, kind, and true people. This is a safe place for a lot of people who get bullied on other social media platforms, and that means the world to me! I love that we celebrate together, and we stand up for each other. #LifeChangingLitsy

[DELETED] 3803335244 I agree I love the non-bully environment. I was on instagram awhile back & got bullied on Fourth of July for saying I love my country & I‘m a proud veteran. I posted a flag. It was horrible & I got off Instagram. I was happy to find a place to share my love of books, nice conversation, & people. Litsy is an amazing place. Glad your here! 7y
AmyG You're not kidding! @ForeverNerdy I have been on some other music sites and people can be kind...and brutal. Here...everyone is kind and respectful. Says alot about book nerds, doesn't it? 👍🏻 (edited) 7y

I love Litsy because of my fellow Littens. So many online forums and social media apps are plagued by rude, snide comments and extreme amounts of judgement. But here everyone is so supportive of everyone else! No one judges your reading tastes, and if you disagree with someone over a book/ author it's always a respectful discussion.

Thanks @DebbieGrillo for running this giveaway and giving us a chance to spread Litsy love!
