With the economy being so bad in the U.S. and being so far away from family at Thanksgiving time I have been thinking of some of the things I am thankful for. Here is one list I found! We really do have alot to be thankful for!
Be thankful for the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means you have
enough to eat.
Be thankful for the mess you clean up after a party, because it means you have
been surrounded by friends.
Be thankful for the taxes you pay, because it means you're employed.
Be thankful that your lawn needs mowing and your windows need fixing, because
it means you have a home.
Be thankful for your heating bill, because it means you are warm.
Be thankful for the laundry, because it means you have clothes to wear.
Be thankful for the space you find at the far end of the parking lot, because it
means you can walk.
Be thankful for the lady who sings off-key behind you in church, because it
means you can hear.
Be thankful when people complain about the government, because it means we
have freedom of speech.
Be thankful for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it
means you're alive.

Amen to that, it is amazing how comfortable we are and we still find things to complain about.
i love that list--a better way to look at things and a creative way to be more thankful!
I got a little teary eyed reading that! All too often I found myslef wishing and hoping for all the things I DON'T have right now, instead of all the things that we DO...and we are so blessed! Thank you for this post...it's a real eye opener!
What a great list, and positive attitude to have. (Sheila's sister)
