I am thankful for:
FOR THE HUSBAND WHO IS ON THE SOFA BEING A COUCH POTATO, 
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.

FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY 
BECAUSE IT MEANS 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 OUT IN THE SUNSHINE

WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME 

FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT 
BECAUSE IT MEANS 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 I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION . 

FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL 
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM WARM. 

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 I AM ALIVE. 

What are you thankful for?

Live well, Laugh often, & Love with all of your heart.

Leslie! I love your attitude and I am thankful for great people like you! Thanks for the ornament party - for hosting- your the best! I am so sorry that I couldnt make it- as much as I wanted to get out of the house, I didnt think you or our friends would appreciate the stomach bug that I had! It was nasty! But thenk you! Your the best!
