I Am Thankful For.......

-The mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

-The taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed.

-The clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat

-My shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.

-A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.

-All the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech.

-The spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.

-My huge heating bill because it means I am warm.

-The lady behind me in temple who sings off key because it means that I can hear.

-The piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby.

-Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive.

-The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I'm alive.
