• I am Grateful…
  (In recognition of “anti-bitching” day)

  
  

   

  
  

  For the taxes I pay, because it means 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 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 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 clock that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means
  I am alive.

  
  

   

  
  

  Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving everyone.
