Give Thanks

I am thankful for... The partner who hogs the covers every night; because he/she is not out with someone else.

The teenager who is not doing dishes but is watching TV; because that means he/she is at home and not on the streets.

For the taxes that I pay; because it means that I am employed.

For the mess to clean after a party; because it means that I have been surrounded by friends.

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

For my shadow that watches me work; because it means I am in the sunshine.

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

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

For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot; because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.

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

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

For the pile of laundry and ironing; because it means I have clothes to wear.

For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day; because it means I have been capable of working hard.

For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours; because it means that I am alive and finally...

For too much e-mail; because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.

Send this to someone you care about; and when you think your life is so bad, read this again:)
