| :: 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 to eat. for my shadows who 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 needs fixing because it means I have a home. 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 thinking of me. Thank you for being my friend. |
