something i picked up from a book...
Give Thanks^^
~ for the wife who says it's mee goreng again tonight, because she is home with me and not out galivanting with someone else.
~ for the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because he is at home with me and not out at the bars drinking or playing poker with his cronies
~ for the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes because it means that she is at home, not on the streets.
~ for the taxes I pay, because it means I am employed.
~ for the mess to clean up after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
~ for the clothing that fit a little too snugly because it means I have enough to eat.(AGREED!)
~ 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 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 have been blessed with transportation.
~ for my huge electric bill because it means I am comfortable and happy.
~ for the lady behind me in church who sings off-key because it means I can hear.
~ for the pile pf laundry and ironing because it means I have clothing to wear.
~ for weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I am capable of working hard.
~ for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours beacuse it means I am still ALIVE.
so, even the most annoying thing that we have to do, or anything unpleasant that happened to us, there is still something to be grateful of...
