I am thankful for…
the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends...
the taxes I pay because it means I am employed...
the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat
a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home…
my shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine…
the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking…
all the complaining about our government because it means we have freedom of speech…
my large heating bill because it means I am warm…
the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear…
the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means I am alive…
the piles of laundry and ironing because it means that my loved ones are nearby…
weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive…
Well said.

Hear, hear.
Or is it hear, here? Here, here?
Yeah. Well said.
That's a great way of looking at it... sometimes we get so wrapped up in the negative aspects of life that we can lose sight of what's good about it.
