Hi All,
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am personally exhausted from the preparation, (and clean up), but kept reflecting back on this email...
I AM THANKFUL FOR ......THE PARTNER WHO HOGS THE COVERS EVERY
NIGHT, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT OUT WITH
SOMEONE ELSE.
THE CHILD WHO IS NOT CLEANING HIS ROOM,
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 TOO SNUG,
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.
FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK,
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM 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 COMPLAINTS 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.
(WHEN YOU THINK YOUR LIFE IS SO BAD,
READ THIS AGAIN)
