          I am thankful for the wife who says it's hot dogs tonight because
          she is home with me and not with someone else.

          For  the husband who is  on the sofa who  is 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
          that he or she is at home, not on the streets.

          For the taxes that I pay, because it means that i, am employed.

               For the mess to clean after a party, because it means that 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 complaining 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 able to  walk 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  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 that I am alive.

               Finally, for too much email, because it means I have friends
          who a thinking of me.
