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 am employed.
the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough.
my shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.
a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.
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.
my huge heating bill because it means I am warm.
the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear her.
the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby.
the alarms that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I'm alive.
weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means I have been productive.
Be thankful - not only at Thanksgiving, but every day.
