I am thankful for... by Nancie J. Carmody
...the mess to clean up 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.
...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.
...that lady behind me in church who sings off key... because it means that I can hear.
...lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing... because it means I have a home.
...my huge heating bill... because it means that I am warm.
...weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day... because it means that I have been productive.
...the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours... because it means that I am alive.
