I am thankful for...

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 I'm employed.
...The clothes that fit 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.
...the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.
...the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby.
...the lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.
...my heating bill because it means I am warm.
...the person behind me in church who sings off key because it means I can hear.
...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 hours because it means that I am alive!
