I AM THANKFUL FOR …

MY HUSBAND WHO WORKS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE HE HAS A JOB AND PROVIDES FOR OUR FAMILY.

FOR THE NOISE & MESS MY CHILDREN MAKE, BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH CHILDREN.

FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO TIGHT, BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.

FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY, BECAUSE IT MEANS MY FAMILY AND I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.

FOR THE PHONE RINGING, BECAUSE IT MEANS THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CARE AND WANT TO TALK TO ME.

FOR BEING TIRED AT THE END OF THE DAY, BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.

FOR A FLOOR THAT NEEDS SWEEPING, WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING, SHOWERS AND TOILETS THAT NEED SCRUBBING BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME.

FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS, BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I AM ALIVE.

FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY, BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I HAVE BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.

FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY PARTIES MY CHILDREN ATTEND BECAUSE IT MEANS THEY TOO, HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH FRIENDS.

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 THE TEARS I HAVE SHED BECAUSE IT MEANS I STILL CARE.

FOR MY KIDS HAVING LOTS OF HOMEWORK, BECAUSE IT MEANS SOMEONE IS WILLING TO TEACH THEM.

FOR THE WORK I AM BEHIND ON, BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH WORK!

AND SO MUCH MORE . . . FUNNY HOW THE THINGS THAT SOMETIMES AGGRAVATE US ARE BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE!

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MY WONDERFUL FAMILY & AMAZING FRIENDS :) I REALLY DO LOVE YOU ALL!
