Be thankful for the mess you have to clean up after a party,

because it means you have been surrounded by friends.

Be thankful for the taxes you pay,

Be thankful that your lawn needs mowing and your windows need cleaning and your gutters need fixing, because it means you have a home.

Be thankful for your huge heating bill,

because it means you are warm.

Be thankful for the piles of laundry and ironing,

because it means you have clothes to wear, and your loved ones are nearby.

Be thankful for the space you find at the far end of the parking lot,

because it means you can walk.

Be thankful for the lady who sings off-key behind you in church,

because it means you can hear.

Be thankful for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours,

because it means you're alive.

because it means you have been productive.

This Thanksgiving, give thanks for all you have.

Happy Thanksgiving!
