.. the mess to clean after a party because I have been surrounded by friends (and their children)
.. the taxes I pay because it means I'm employed and supporting everyone else.
.. the clothes that fit a bit too snug because it means I have enough to eat.
(I'll diet next year)
.. my shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine getting old.
.. a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning & a gutter that needs fixing,
because it means I have a home & a mortgage.
.. the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means I can walk with crutches.
.. all the complaining I hear about our government because it means
we have freedom of speech. (excluding slander)
.. my huge heating bill because it means I am warm and too lazy to get a jacket.
.. the lady behind me in church who sings off key, because it means I can hear,
have some tolerance and sense of humour.
.. the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby (getting dirty)
.. the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means
that I'm alive. (must remember to get a new battery)
.. weariness and aching muscles, because it means
my body is healthy? enough to reach, bend, stretch and lift, despite arthritis.
.. we are thankful to you, our family and friends, 4 caring, 4 Ur thoughts, belief,
4 Ur positive energy ..
.. 4 Ur presence, (presents), 4 Ur love (and obcessions).
.. Autism (where would I be without it?) |
