To Be Thankful For
What's this? Two blog posts within five minutes? Yes, well, I thought this would be appropriate as we are about to celebrate Thanksgiving here in the United States. I've had this hanging on my wall for years. I originally got it from a humor mailing list years ago (2000, I think).

TO BE THANKFUL FOR:The mess to clean after a party because I have been surrounded by friends.The taxes I pay because I'm employed.The clothes that are a little too snug because I have enough to eat. ( I particularly like this one)The shadow who watches me work because I am out in the sunshine.A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing because I have a home.All the complaining I hear about our government because we have freedom of speech.The space in which I park at the far end of the parking lot because I am capable of walking.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.The piles of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because I have been productive.The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I'm alive.Getting too much e-mail which bogs me down because I have friends who are thinking of me.
Happy Thanksgiving!
