Here are some things to be thankful for which may not be immediately apparent:

• For the taxes that we pay, because it means that we are employed.
• For the mess to clean after a party, because it means that we have been surrounded by friends.
• For the clothes that fit a little too snugly, because it means we have enough to eat.
• For our shadow that watches us work, because it means we are out in the sunshine.
• For a floor that needs mopping, and windows that need cleaning, because it means we have a home.
• For all the complaining we hear about the government, because it means that we have freedom of speech.
• For the parking spot we find at the far end of the car park, because it means we are capable of walking and that we have been blessed with transportation.
• For the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means we have clothes to wear.
• For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means we have been capable of working hard.
• For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means that we are alive.
