Look at the positive side of things!
This is nice - as usual, got through email from a friend - finding something positive out of every negative - which we don't always manage to do.
I am thankful...
- For the spouse who snores all night, because he is at home asleep with me and not with someone else.
- For my teenage daughter who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means 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 out in the sunshine.
- For a floor that needs mopping, and windows that need cleaning 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 can walk & that I have been blessed with transportation.
- For the noise I have to bear from my neighbors 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.
And, finally, for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I am still alive.
