I Am Thankful
|
- for the taxes that I pay because it means that I am employed
- for the mess I have to clean up after a party because it means 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 who 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 government because it means we have freedom of speech.
- for the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.
- for the 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 weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive.
- for getting too much email because it lets me know I have friends who are thinking of me.
- for the times I feel overwhelmed by my responsibilities for my children, my parents, my friends and the needy in my community, because I know that when my turns comes to be dependent, someone will care for me.
