Things to be thankful for: Young at Heart

So, as you probably have noticed, we've been making a real effort to blog more often, and we're going to try to tie our posts to the season or time of year -- sort of like a list of things we like to do, see, buy, and think about, depending on the time of year.

Well, November, of course, is a month of being thankful, and so I'd like to recommend this fantastic film to help you feel more grateful for all the things you have: love, health, energy, emotion, devotion, belief, happiness... the list could go on and on.




The documentary Young at Heart follows a choir of octa- and nonagenarians as the learn and perform particularly meaningful and poignant rock songs (think Sonic Youth, Coldplay, and James Brown). We watched the film because we like documentaries; by the end of it, we were in tears. It was so joyous, moving, and tender. You must, must check it out, and be reminded of how thankful you are for all those you love, and those that love you.
