For all the complaining I hear about our government, because it means that we have freedom of speech.
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 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 the teenager who is not doing dishes but is watching t.v., because that means he is at home and not on the streets.
For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means I am capable of walking and that I have transportation.
For my huge heating bill, because it means I am warm.
For the punk rock band that is noisy, 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 my alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means that I am alive. and finally.......
For too much (non-spam that is) e-mail, because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.
