This is nice - finding positive out of every negative - which we don't always manage to do.
Be thankful...
  1. For the husband who snores all night, because he is at home asleep with you and not with someone else.
  2. For your teenage daughter who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means she is at home & not on the streets.
  3. For the taxes that we pay because it means that we are employed.
  4. For the mess to clean after a party because it means that we have been surrounded by friends.
  5. For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means we have enough to eat.
  6. For the shadow that watches us work because it means we are out in the sunshine.
  7. For a floor that needs mopping and windows that need cleaning because it means we have a home.
  8. For all the complaining we hear about the government because it means that we have freedom of speech.
  9. For the parking spot you find at the far end of the parking lot because it means we are capable of walking and that we have been blessed with transportation.
  10. For the noise we have to bear from our neighbors because it means that we can hear.
  11. For the pile of laundry and ironing because it means we have clothes to wear.
  12. For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means we have been capable of working hard.
  13. For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that we are still alive.

AND FINALLY ....... for received e-mails because it means we have friends who are thinking of us, at least.
