I Am Thankful for... by
Nancie J. Carmody
...the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been
surrounded by friends.
...the taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed.
...the clothes that fit a little 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.
...a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters
that need fixing because it means I have a home.
...the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I
am capable of walking.
...all the complaining I hear about our government because it means we
have freedom of speech.
...my huge heating bill because it means I am warm.
...the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that
I can hear.
...the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means
that I'm alive.
...the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved one are
nearby.
...weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I
have been productive.
