Appreciation
Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2003 12:18 amI found this in my e-mail and I thought I would share with you guys.
APPRECIATION
I AM THANKFUL FOR THE WIFE WHO SAYS
IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT. SHE IS HOME WITH ME,
NOT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
FOR THE HUSBAND WHO IS ON THE SOFA WHO IS
BEING A COUCH POTATO. HE IS HOME WITH ME
AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.
FOR THE TEENAGER WHO IS COMPLAINING
ABOUT DOING DISHES, BECAUSE THAT MEANS
SHE IS AT HOME, NOT ON THE STREETS.
FOR THE TAXES THAT I PAY,
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I AM EMPLOYED.
FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY,
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT 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 ALL THE COMPLAINING I HEAR
ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT,
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT
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 THAT I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION.
FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH
THAT SINGS OFF KEY, BECAUSE IT
MEANS THAT 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 THAT I AM ALIVE.
AND FINALLY...FOR TOO MUCH E-MAIL, BECAUSE
IT MEANS I HAVE FRIENDS
WHO ARE THINKING OF ME
