I Am Thankful![]() For the teenager who is not doing dishes but is watching TV, Because that means he is at home and not on the streets. ![]() 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 snug, Because it means I have enough to eat. ![]() For my shadow that watches me work, Because it means I am out in the sunshine. ![]() For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, Because it means I have a home. ![]() For all the complaining I hear about the government, Because it means that we have freedom of speech. ![]() For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, Because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation. ![]() For my huge heating bill, Because it means I am warm. ![]() For the lady behind me in church that sings off key, 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. ![]() And finally..... For too much E-mail, Because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.
