Being Thankful. (for Blessings in disguise?)
        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 IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME,         NOT ON THE STREETS.
        FOR THE TAXES I PAY
        BECAUSE IT MEANS
        I AM EMPLOYED.
        FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY         BECAUSE IT MEANS 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
        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 I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION.         FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL
        BECAUSE IT MEANS
        I AM WARM.
        FOR THE LADY NEXT TO ME IN CIRCLE         WHO SINGS OFF KEY BECAUSE IT MEANS         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 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.
