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 ALL THE
COMPLAINING I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT:
BECAUSE IT MEANS 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 I
HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION.
FOR MY HUGE
HEATING BILL:
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM WARM.
FOR THE LADY
BEHIND ME IN CHURCH 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 MANY E-MAILS:
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE
THINKING OF ME.
SEND THIS TO
SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT:
Live well, Laugh often, & Love
with all of your heart |
