I Am Thankful For :

..... the mess to clean after a party

because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

..... the taxes I pay

because it means that I'm employed.

..... the clothes that fit a little too snug

because it means I have enough to eat.

..... my shadow who watches me work

because it means I am out in the sunshine.

..... a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing

because it means I have a home.

..... all the complaining I hear about our government

because it means we have freedom of speech.

..... the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot

because it means I am capable of walking.

..... my huge 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 piles of laundry and ironing

because it means my loved ones are nearby.

..... weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day

because it means I have been productive.

..... the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours

because it means that I'm alive.

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving ! ( all year round )
