Thanksgiving
I am Thankful for the partner who hogs the covers every night, because he/she is not out with someone else.
The child who is not cleaning his room, but is watching TV, because that means he is at home and 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 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 all the complaints 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 am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.
For my huge heating bill, because it means I am warm.
For the lady behind me in church that sings off key, 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 the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means that I am alive.
And finally ……… for too much E-mail, because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.
And when you think your life is so bad, Read This Again!

It isn't that I am unthankful, it is that I can't decide what I am most thankful for, and my list would make Dave's list look like a quick summary.
Since you ask, I will list a few.
1. A wife that is not only my best friend, but is willing and able to tell me directly that I am not reaching my potential.
2. Kids that are scary smart, but don't have to bad things to prove that they are.
3. Work that I usually enjoy doing that provides a dcent living.
4. The ability and the right that allows me to believe and say what I want in most any situation.
5. A warm and comfortable home in the winter and a cool home inthe summer.
6. I can buy groceries any time that I feel like it.
7. Friends tha I can trust and be totally honest with.
8. Shoes that don't have holes inthem and that actually fit me.
9. I can afford to make sure my kids shoes are the same way, and that their clothes are clean and mended.
10. Vehicles that I am certain wil start the first time I turn the key.
11. Customers that pay their bills.
12. A neighborhood that I can go out at night and not worry about being jumped and or mugged, and I am relatively certaint hat my wife can as well.
13. Free Schools
14. A stupid dog that thinks that I am wonderful.
15. Employees that do their job correctly 90% of the time.
16. That I have friends that I have never seen, yet that I feel that I can depend on
17. Friends that will come and get me if there is a problem, even if it is 2:00 a.m.
18. That my wife is not surprised when I come give her a hug for no reason, and that I am not surprised when she does the same.
How is that for a start??
