Being Thankful

by Yvonne Massie

THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR

The mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

The taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed.

The clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.

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 government because it means we have freedom of speech.

The space 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 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 e-mail bogs me down but a least I know I have friends who are thinking of me.

And most of all concerns and cares because that means I have a family.

GOD BLESS YOU AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
