A good friend sent me this after he’s ticker came real close to calling it quits.
I’m thankful for…
-
the taxes I pay because it means that I’m employed.
-
the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
-
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.
-
all the complaining I hear about our overnment because it means we have freedom of speech.
-
the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.
-
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 piles of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.
-
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 hours because it means that I’m alive.
-
getting too much email because it lets me know I have friends who are thinking of me.
Wishing you all the very best of 2001
