Don't know about everyone else, but here are a few things I am thankful for.<br /><br />For the wife<br />who says it's hot dogs tonight,<br />because she is home with me,<br />and not out with someone else.<br /><br />For the husband<br />who is on the sofa<br />being a couch potato,<br />because he is home with me<br />and not out at the bars.<br /><br />For the teenager<br />who is complaining about doing dishes<br />because that means she is at home,<br />not on the streets.<br /><br />For the taxes<br />that I pay<br />because it means that<br />I am employed.<br /><br />For the mess<br />to clean after a party<br />because it means that I have<br />been surrounded by friends.<br /><br />For the clothes<br />that fit a little too snug<br />because it means<br />I have enough to eat.<br /><br />For my shadow<br />that watches me work<br />because it means<br />I am out in the sunshine.<br /><br />For a lawn<br />that needs mowing,<br />windows that need cleaning,<br />and gutters that need fixing<br />because it means I have a home.<br /><br />For all the complaining<br />I hear about the government<br />because it means that<br />we have freedom of speech.<br /><br />For the parking spot<br />I find at the far end of the parking lot<br />because it means I am capable of walking<br />and that I have been<br />blessed with transportation.<br /><br />For my huge heating bill<br />because it means<br />I am warm.<br /><br />For the lady<br />behind me in church<br />that sings off key<br />because it means<br />that I can hear.<br /><br />For the pile<br />of laundry and ironing<br />because it means<br />I have clothes to wear.<br /><br />For weariness<br />and aching muscles<br />at the end of the day<br />because it means<br />I have been<br />capable of working hard.<br /><br />For the alarm<br />that goes off<br />in the early morning hours<br />because it means that I am alive.<br /><br />And finally...<br />For too much e-mail<br />because it means I have<br />friends who are thinking of me.
