Loc: Australia/ U.S. websites
This came to me via email from a website that I subscribe to - Dean Bleasdale, Love - A Passion for People.
It was written by Diane, Australia. Thanks Diane.
Hope you like it as much as I do.


The other side of the coin.

I'm thankful for the taxes I pay,
because it means that I have a job.

I'm thankful for the mess to clean up after a party,
because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

I'm thankful for the clothes that fit a little too snug,
because it means I have enough to eat.

I'm thankful for my shadow who watches me work,
because it means I am out in the sunshine.

I'm thankful for a lawn that needs mowing,
windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need clearing,
because it means I have a home.

I'm thankful for all the complaining I hear about our government,
because it means we have freedom of speech.

I'm thankful for the spot I find at the far end of the carpark lot,
because it means I am capable of walking.

I'm thankful for my huge heating bill,
because it means I am warm.

I'm thankful for the loud music my children play,
because it means that I can hear.

I'm thankful for the piles of laundry and ironing,
because it means I have clothes to wear.

I'm thankful for weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day,
because it means I have been productive.

I'm thankful for the alarm that goes off in the early every morning,
because it means that I'm alive.

I'm thankful for getting too many emails,
because it lets me know I have friends who are thinking of me.

This week, try more to cultivate an ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE!

I'm grateful for plowing through 7 or 8 hours of research on my computer these past two days, because without computers and online resources, that task would've taken 5x as long. At least!

I'm thankful for my job because it gives me someplace to go alone to do something very useful and meaningful for others while putting bread on the table for me and mine.

I'm thankful for my car, even with the payments because it allows me to ride to work in style! Black '03 Nissan Altima with dark tinted windows, an airfoil on the back and a great stereo system...makes me happy every time I drive it.
