Cool Tumblr Themes

I am thankful for…

by Nancie J. Carmody

…the mess to clean up after a party
because it means I have been surrounded by friends.


…the taxes I pay
because it means that I’m employed.


…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.


…the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot
because it means I am capable of walking.


…all the complaining I hear about our government
because it means we have freedom of speech.


…that lady behind me in church who sings off key
because it means that I can hear.


…lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing
because it means I have a home.


…my huge heating bill
because it means that I am warm.


…weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day
because it means that I have been productive.


…the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours
because it means that I am alive.
