Putting all sillies aside, I have much to be grateful for with the kind of year our world has seen and to kick the week off right, Robin wants us to spell out with song titles GRATEFUL for the Monday Mewsic Moves Me theme.
Growing up, we didn’t have a lot but what we had I appreciated. I knew it was God’s goodness that kept clothes on my back, a roof over my head, and food on the table. During my adult years struggling with job lay-offs and raising a family on tight finances I saw God’s blessings. Did we have everything? Nope but we had the essentials and that’s all we needed. It’s easy to let the mind think, what I want is what I need and that’s not true. If we look for things to make us happy then we’re selling ourselves short.
I’m grateful for every. single. thing in my life big and small. That being said, I want to honor the One who deserves praise for the goodness in my life with 8 contemporary Christian songs spelling GRATEFUL.

I hope I’m not wearing you out. This post is turning into a lengthy one. In my song search, I came across the Gaither Vocal Band and boy, are they good! I just forgot how good. Their GREATLY BLESSED album sounds purrfect for this week and so I wanted to share it with you. Hit play to enjoy some background mewsic while you work. That’s what I do! 🙂
In last week’s mid-month BoTB Jaimee Paul faced Ike Moriz in the From Russia With Love showdown. Throughout this round, Jaimee stayed ahead of Ike. I was certain she would be crowned winner but then on Saturday votes came in favor of Ike making this a tied battle. I didn’t think this would happen, folks. What an interesting showdown! This leaves no clear winner with the vote count 10 to 10. Everybody is a winner today!
While listening to both contenders on YouTube Ike became more comfortable to my ear than Jaimee so do check out their YT channels for more mewsic but I’ll let you pick the artist you’d like to sample a bit more of – Jaime Paul’s After the Ball album with Beegie Adair or Ike Moriz Crooner Medley. Thanks to all who made this an interesting BoTB. Be sure to join me in my next showdown on December 1st.

It’s Thanksgiving week. I’m confident I won’t be doing much in Blogosphere and I’m sure you’re nodding in agreement. The kitchen becomes the front line with pan banging and pot clacking with aromatic spices and savory dishes filling the air. Try to not get overwhelmed but enjoy these moments of creation as you whip up a fine feast.
I’m blessed to have you in my life. The pleasure of our camaraderie is a benefit I had not expected when I started blogging ten years ago. Thank you for being my friend. Alrighty, that’s a wrap for now, until we meet next, have a boogietastic week! X💋X💋, Cathy
