Are you thankful…


In case you don’t know what to be thankful for, here are some tips to think over

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 that I have been surrounded by friends.
  • For the clothes that fit a little too tight, because it means I have enough to eat.
  • For my shadow that watches me work, because it means I am in the sunshine.
  • For the flowers that need watering, windows that need cleaning, and households that need fixing, because it means I have a home.
  • For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means I am able to walk and that I have been blessed with transportation.
  • For the huge heating bill, because it means I am warm.
  • For the neighbours that drive me mad with the music they listen to, 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.
  • Finally, for too many private calls and emails, because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.

Can you continue the list?
