I found this on the internet and loved it.
Thought it very appropriate for looking at our life from a different perspective

The Other Side of the Coin |
I am thankful.... 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 a lawn that needs mowing, Windows that need cleaning, And gutters that need fixing, Because it means that I have a home. 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. Or 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 off in the early morning hours, Because it means that I am alive. And finally....... For all the e-mails I receive each day, Because it means I have friends who think of me In places far away and near. |
