I got this forward recently from a friend, and mostly yes, this blog is about pictures but I really liked this one, it really got me thinking about the perspectives and truly realizing how much we really have that we probably neglect. Yes, and I know what I just said is something that's been said so much it kinda loses true meaning and sounds like a cliche but the following words refreshes ones perspective on appreciating how much we already have. :)
(sorry for the wierd text stuff happening below, these forwards have the funkiest combo of capital letters, colors, diff fonts...hehe)
I am thankful for the wife
WHO SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME,
AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
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 TEENAGER
WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME,
NOT ON THE STREETS.
FOR THE TAXES I PAY
because it means i am employed
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
FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME
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 LADY BEHIND ME IN THE CONGREGATION
WHO SINGS OFF KEY
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I CAN HEAR.
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
AND FINALLY, FOR TOO MUCH E-MAIL because IT MEANS I HAVE
FRIENDS WHO ARE THINKING OF ME
SEND THIS TO SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT. I JUST DID.
Live well, Laugh often, & Love with all of your heart!
