I AM 
THANKFUL:  FOR 
THE WIFE 
WHO 
SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT, 
BECAUSE SHE 
IS HOME WITH ME, 
AND NOT OUT WITH 
SOMEONE ELSE. 


FOR 
THE HUSBAND 
WHO 
IS ON THE SOFA 
BEING A COUCH 
POTATO, 
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH 
ME 
AND NOT OUT AT THE 
BARS. 


FOR 
THE TEENAGER 
WHO 
IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING 
DISHES 
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME, 
NOT ON THE STREETS.

FOR 
THE TAXES I PAY 
BECAUSE 
IT MEANS I AM 
EMPLOYED . 


FOR 
THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A 
PARTY 
BECAUSE

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 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 
I HEAR ABOUT THE 
GOVERNMENT  
BECAUSE 
IT MEANS 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 
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 AM ALIVE.  


AND 
FINALLY, FOR TOO MUCH 
E-MAIL 
BECAUSE  IT 
MEANS I HAVE FRIENDS.


SEND THIS TO 
SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT. I JUST 
DID. 
Live 
well, Laugh often, & Love with all of your 
heart!
