I Am Thankful...

I found this in an old email from a friend and before I deleted it to bring my inbox total down below several thousand I thought I'd salvage ot to the blog.

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 That Means She Is At Home,

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.
