I am thankful for...

I AM THANKFUL FOR

THE HUSBAND WHO SAYS
IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT BECAUSE HE IS
HOME WITH ME, NOT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

FOR THE TEENAGER WHO IS COMPLAINING
ABOUT DOING DISHES, BECAUSE THAT MEANS
SHE IS AT HOME; 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 OUT 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 THAT
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.
