I am thankful..
.... for the person who complains when his dinner is not in time, because that person is with me, not someone else.
.... for the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means she is home and not on the streets.
.... for the taxes that I pay, because it means I am employed.
.... for the mess to clean after the party, because it means that I have been surrounded by friends.
.... for the clothes that fit a little snug, because it means I have enough eat.
.... for my shadow that watches me, because it means I am out in the sunshine.
.... for a lawn that need mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it means I have home.
.... for all the complaining I hear about the government, because it means that we have freedom of speech.
.... for the parking spot that I find at the end of the lot, because it means I am capable of walking, and that I have been blessed with transportation.
.... for my heating bill, because it means I have been kept warm.
.... for the lady behind me in church who sings off key, because it means I have freedom of religion and that I can hear.
.... for the pile of laundry, because it means my family and 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 morning, because it means that I am alive.
- Always be positive!
