A different type of "Thankful List."
I am thankful for:
The mess to clean up after a party because it
means I have been surrounded by friends.
The taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed, well the Colonel is!
My shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.
The spot I find at the far end of the parking lot
because it means I am capable of walking.
All the complaining I hear about our government
because it means we have freedom of speech.
That lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means I can hear.
The piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby
(I just wish they could use a towel more than once!)
My huge heating bill because it means that I am warm.
(Although the kids would disagree. They always want the thermostat raised)
Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day
because it means that I have been productive.
My Favorite...
The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours
because it means that I am alive!
Let's all take a few moments to remind ourselves that we can always find something to be thankful for, not just now during Thanksgiving, but all year long!
Enjoy!
