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 MY HUGE HEATING BILL, BECAUSE IT MEANS 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
I HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.

FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OF 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. 
SEND THIS TO SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT.

Think about them one at a time BEFORE going on to the next one . . .
IT DOES MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD especially the thought at the end.

Falling in love.

Laughing so hard your face hurts.

A hot shower.

A special glance.

Getting mail.

Taking a drive on a pretty road.

Hearing your favorite song on the radio.

Lying in bed listening to the rain outside.

Hot towels out of the dryer.

Finding the sweater you want is on sale for half price.

Chocolate Milkshake. (or vanilla!)

A long distance phone call.

A bubble bath.

Giggling.

A good conversation.

The beach.

Finding a $20 bill in your coat from last winter.

Laughing at yourself.

Midnight phone calls that lasts for hours.

Running through sprinklers.

Laughing for absolutely no reason at all.

Having someone tell you that you're beautiful.

Laughing at an inside joke.

Friends.

Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you.

Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep.

Making new friends or spending time with old ones.

Having someone play with your hair.

Sweet Dreams.

Hot chocolate.

Road trips with friends.

Swinging on swings.

Wrapping presents to put under the Christmas tree while eating cookies and

Making eye contact with a cute stranger.

Winning a really competitive game.

Making chocolate chip cookies.

Having your friends send you homemade cookies.

Spending time with close friends.

Seeing smiles and hearing laughter from your friends.

Holding hands with someone you care about.

Running into an old friend and realizing that some things (good or bad)
never change.

Watching the expression on someone's face as they open a much desired
present from you.

Watching the sunrise.

Getting out of bed every morning and thanking God for another beautiful
day.
