I am thankful for…

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.
