I Am Grateful For...For the partner who
hogs the covers every night,
because he is
not out with someone else.
For the child who
is not cleaning their room,
but is watching TV,
because it means
they are at home,
and not on the streets.
For the taxes I pay,
because it means
that I am 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 too snug,
because it means
I have enough to eat.
For my shadow
that watches me work,
because it means
I am 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 complaints I hear
about the Government,
because it means that
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 that I have been blessed
with transportation.
For my huge heating bill,
because it means I am warm.
For the lady behind me in Church
that sings off key,
because it means that I can hear.
For the pile of laundry and ironing,
because it means I have clothes to wear.
For the alarm that goes off
in the early morning hours,
because it means that I am alive.
For too much e-mail,
because it means I have friends
who are thinking of me.
