Bethany’s Thanksgiving Playlist 2023

November is here, reintroducing us to the holiday season. Thanksgiving has such a meaningful way of inviting us to slow down and remember the previous year. 

Remember. Remember your moments. Remember your feelings. Remember your stories that framed this year. Remember one another. Remember you. 

For eleven years, I have created a playlist for Thanksgiving for Red Tent Living. Oftentimes, I gather songs throughout the year to share; other times I add what stirs for me as I live into the season. Music has a way of putting words to my feelings, especially when my own words are difficult to convey. Somehow, each year, the songs invite me to find gratitude in the small, seemingly insignificant moments.

Gratitude has the ability to breed joy—joy regardless of the circumstances. 

Thanksgiving can always be found. Always.

Enjoy this playlist of mine, and feel free to create one of your own that reflects your unique heart and life this Thanksgiving.
