...the mess to clean after a party
because it means I have been surrounded by family and friends.
...the taxes I pay
because it means that I am employed.
...the clothes that fit a little too snug
because it means I have enough to eat.
...My shadow who watches me work
because it means I am in the sunshine.
...The spot I find at the far end of the parking lot
because it means I am capable of walking.
...All the complaining I hear about government
because it means we have freedom of speech.
...A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing
because it means I have a home.
...The lady behind me who sings off key
because it means that I can hear.
...My huge heating bill
because it means I am warm.
...The alarm that goes off in the early morning
because it means that I am alive.
...Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day
because it means I have been productive.
...The piles of laundry and dishes
because it means that loved ones are nearby.

Aaah...A big "rite of passage" - it looks like Kennedy graduated to the "adult table." Congratulations! :)
How fun is Thanksgiving. It is such a great holiday. Looks like you guys had a great day! Hope you had a fun black day-after as well. =)
Ha ha. I was going to comment on Kennedy sitting at the oldies table but Suzanne beat me to it!
I'm glad you had a great Thanksgiving. Family is my favorite blessing.
Happy Thanksgiving to one of our favorite families! We are thankful for your friendship!
