This was sent to me by a friend at work. I'm not sure who the author is but thought it would be fitting to pass on.
I am thankful for…
the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrendered by friends...
the taxes I pay because it means I am employed...
the clothes that fit a little too snug 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 about our government because it means we have freedom of speech…
my large heating bill because it means I am warm…
the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear…
the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means I am alive…
the piles of laundry and ironing because it means that my loved ones are nearby…
weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive…
and I am thankful for your friendship.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Hi Alan,
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too.
This is the time when we need to realize things aren't that bad...
Nice post.
Mary
