LESSON IN GRATITUDE:
I'M THANKFUL

I got this beautiful text in my email box and wanted to share it with my blog readers.
I anticipate you will enjoy it as much as I did.

I'm 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 He Is At Home,
Not On The Streets.

For The Taxes I Pay
Because It MeansI 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 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 Pile Of Laundry And Ironing
Because It MeansI Have Clothes To Wear.

For Weariness And Aching Muscles At The End Of The Day
Because It Means I Have BeenCapable 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.

If you ask me the person who wrote these lines is blessed with lots of wisdom and a profound philosophic mind
