I am thankful for the wife who says it's hot dogs tonight, because she is home with me, not 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 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 the 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 found at the far end of the parking lot, because it means that I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.
For my huge heating bill, because it means that I am warm.
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 that 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 email, because it means that I have friends who are thinking of me.
Tell this to someone you care about, ... I just did.

There are two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is to live as though everything is a miracle.
