I am thankful for....(very cute)

The partner who hogs the covers every night,

because he/she is 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 gathering,

because it means that I have been surrounded by friends and loved ones.

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 email,

because it means I have friends who are thinking of me. :)
