it's all in our perspective...

i am thankful...

for the taxes i pay...because it means i'm 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 to 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 the lawn that needs mowing, the 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 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 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 capable of working hard...



for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours...because it means i'm alive...



live well...laugh often...and love with all your heart...
