What is something (or a few things) for which you're still thankful after Thanksgiving? Happy Thanksgiving!


Me --  totally random things at moment :

* I'm thankful I try to live every day as a day to give thanks and find things for which to be grateful

* Finding out that Actor Thurl Ravenscroft provided the voice for both "Tony the Tiger"/'Frosted Flakes' cereal TV commercials ("They'rrre GrrEATTTT!") and 'The Grinch' singing "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" song in the original made-for-TV animated special "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas"


* Finding out Actress/Comedienne Catherine O'Hara portrayed both the mom in "Home Alone" movie and she also voiced 'Sally' and "Shock' (of Lock, Shock and Barrel characters) in the animated original movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas"
** and I just found out - - never knew til now! -- that Paul Reubens voiced 'Lock'! I love his talent and humor!
[ Lock, Shock and Barrel are my favorite characters in that movie]



* And I SO enjoyed finding out that FloRida used the opening 32 seconds of Etta James, from 1962, singing "Something's Got a Hold of Me" in his song "Good Feeling" (2012)
I had no idea that was Etta James. All I knew was that I loved the female singer. And I was already a fan of Etta but didn't know that particular song. I like FloRida's song, too. (James is the best part to me, ha)
I'll include both songs here.

Etta's song - - it's the first 33 seconds you'll also hear in FloRida's opening of his song
 

Etta James "Something's Got a Hold of Me"  (1962)







FloRida "Good Feeling"  (2012)

    I am thankful for my family and friends, that I live a life of freedom and have sufficient income for it to be an easy life, that I still have most of my marbles, that I can still get out of bed under my own steam and I can still wipe my own bottom.  I am most grateful that I'm still on the right side of the rose garden.
