I'm Thankful...

Check out this beautiful email (that you must have been forwarded at some point of time or another) which tells you exactly how wonderful all the seemingly terrible things in life are!!

Keep up the optimism :-)

I AM THANKFUL:

FOR THE WIFE WHO SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT
Bcoz she is home with me, And not out with someone else.

FOR THE HUSBAND WHO IS ON THE SOFA BEING A COUCH POTATO
Bcoz he is home with me, And not out at the bars.

FOR THE TEENAGER WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING THE DISHES
Bcoz it means she is at home, Not on the streets.

FOR THE TAXES I PAY
Bcoz it means I'm employed.

FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
Bcoz it means I've been surrounded by friends.

FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG
Bcoz it means I've enough to eat.

FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
Bcoz it means I have a home.

FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
Bcoz it means we have freedom of speech.

FOR THE PARKING SPOT I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT
Bcoz it means I'm capable of walking, And I've been blessed with transportation.

FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL
Bcoz it means I'm warm.

FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH WHO SINGS OFF KEY
Bcoz it means I can hear.

FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING
Bcoz it means I have clothes to wear.

FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES AT THE END OF THE DAY
Bcoz it means I've been capable of working hard.

FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF EARLY IN THE MORNING
Bcoz it means I'm alive.

AND FINALLY, FOR TOO MUCH E-MAIL
Bcoz it means I have friends who are thinking of me.

And I'm also thankful to you, kind readers, who make my day by posting comments and your feedback!

Thanks a bunch!
