I'm Thankful

I’m Thankful . . .

For the husband who complains when dinner is not on time, because he is home with me, not with someone else.

For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means he/she is at home, and not on the street.

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 cloths 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 out in the sunshine.

For my 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 of 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 hitting bill, because it means I am warm.

For the lady behind me in the church that sing 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 I am alive.

And finally… for too much email in my inbox, because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.

Be Happy :)
