I found this recently when I was cleaning out some files on my computer. I didn’t write it, but I am sure the author would have no problem with my sharing it.. Happy Thanksgiving.
I am thankful for . . .
The partner who hogs the covers every night,
because he/she is not 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 e-mail,
because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.
