I Am Thankful For

* the mess to clean up after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
* the taxes I pay because it means I am employed.
* the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.
* the spot I find at the 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 I can hear.
* the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby.
* the lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaniing and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.
* my huge heating bill because it means I am warm.
* weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive.
* the alarm that goes off in the early morning because it means that I’m alive.
* Remember . . . live well, laugh often and love much.
