There is always something to be thankful for

I am thankful,

For the teenager who is not doing dishes but is watching T.V., because that
means he 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 party, because it means that 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 that 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 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 that 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.
