* IT IS THANKSGIVING, AND I AM THANKFUL FOR *


For my grandkids who are not doing dishes, but are watching TV,
Because that means that they are at home and not on the streets.
For the ridiculous taxes that I have to pay,
Because it means I am employed and able to work.
For the mess to clean after a holiday party,
Because it means I have been surrounded by friends and family.
For the clothes that no longer fit or are 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 things that need fixing,
Because it means I have a home.
For all the complaining that I have about the government,
Because it means that I have freedom of speech.
For the parking spot that I find at the far end of the parking lot,
Because it means that I am capable of walking and that I am blessed to have transportation.
For my large heating bill in the winter months,
Because it means that I have heat.
For the pile of laundry and ironing,
For it means that 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 that I am alive and have a reason to get up,
and finally,
Far too much e-mail,
Because it means I have friends and family who are thinking of me!
I am so truly blessed and I am thankful to God!
Happy Thanksgiving to my faithful bloggers!
