Being thankful for things means putting things into perspective. Here are some things I'm thankful for this year.....
I am thankful for the taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed.
I am thankful for the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.
I am thankful for the mess to clean up after a get together because it means I have family and friends who care about me.
I am thankful for the windows I have to clean and lawn I have to mow because it means I own a house.
I am thankful for all the complaining I hear about the government because it means I live in a country with freedom of speech.
I am thankful for the shadow that watches me work outside because it means I am out in the sunshine.
I am thankful for the parking spot I find at the end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking and that I have transportation of my own.
I am thankful for my heating bill because it means my house is warm.
I am thankful for the neighbors that play their music a little too loudly because it means I can hear.
I am thankful for the pile of laundry and ironing I have to do because it means I have clothes.
I am thankful for the alarm that goes off in the early morning because it means I'm alive and have a job to go to.
Sometime blessing come in unusual packages, you might just have to look a little harder to find them.
