I AM THANKFUL:
For the wife who says "It's Hot Dogs tonight", because she is home with me and not out with someone else.
For the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because he is home with me and not out at the bars.
For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes, because it means she is home, not on the streets.
For the income taxes I pay, because it means I am employed.
For the mess to clean up after a party, because it means I was surrounded by friends.
For the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means I have enough to eat.
For my shadow watching 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 we have a home.
For all the complaining I hear about the government, because it means we have freedom of speech.
For the parking spot I find at the far end of the lot,because it means I am capable of walking and I have been blessed with transportation.
For our huge heating bill, because it means we are warm.
For the lady behind me in church who sings off-key, because it means I can hear.
For the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means my family has 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.
