I received this as an email today

It set me thinking of the good things that are in my life, not just the groans and complains that seem to be burdens most of the time - see what you think.

I am thankful for :

• The taxes I pay, because it means I am employed - watch this space soon :-)
• The mess to clean up 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 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.
• All the complaining I hear about the Government, because it means we have freedom of speech
• The parking spot I find at the far end of the car park, because it means I am capable of walking and have been blessed with transportation
• My heating bill, because it means I am warm
• The pile of laundry and ironing, because it means I have clothes to wear
• The weary and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means I have been working hard
• The alarm that goes off in the morning hours, because it means I am alive
• Too much email, because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.
• The friends who live so far away, because they mean a lot to me and show me their support even after I let them down.

Live well, Laugh often, & Love with all of your heart but above all, be thankful today
