I AM THANKFUL...
...for the taxes that I pay
because it means that I am employed.
...for the mess to clean 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 food to eat.
...for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing

because it means I have a home.
...for my shadow who watches me work
because it means I am out in the sunshine.



….. for all the complaining I hear about the 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 lady behind me in church who sings off key
because it means that I can hear.
..for the piles 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 productive.

...for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours
because it means that I am alive.
...for getting too much e-mail
because it lets me know
I have friends who are thinking of me.



I AM THANKFUL...
