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 I'm employed.

 

. the clothes that fit a little too snugly because it means I have enough to eat.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

. my huge heating bill because it means I am warm.

 

. the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means I can hear.

 

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

 

. 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.
