To Be Thankful For...
Contributed by e-mail (Donna Poole, Grand Deputy)

 
To be Thankful For...
- the taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed.
- the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
- the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.
- my shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.
- a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.
- all the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech.
- the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.
- my huge heating bill because it means I am warm.
- the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear.
- the piles of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.
- weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive.
- the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I'm alive.
