  I got this on email today, thought it was really good.

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.

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
T HE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH
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

FOR
THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT
MEANS I AM ALIVE.
