    I Am Thankful

    For The Wife
    Who Says It's Hot Dogs Tonight,
    Because She Is Home With Me,
    And Not Out With Someone Else.

    For The Husband
    Who Is On The Sofa
    Being A Couch Potato,
    Because He Is Home With Me
    And Not Out At The Bars.

    For The Teenager
    Who Is Complaining About Doing Dishes
    Because That Means She Is At Home,
    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 Too 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.

    Send This To Someone You Care About

    . . . I Just Did.

    Have A Great Day And God Bless My Friends

    Too true! It's so easy to be caught up in life and forget about the simple things that keep us going.
