Words of Inspiration - I CHOOSE to be grateful

I CHOOSE to be grateful for.......

Too many e-mails, because it means I have friends thinking of me.

The large pile of laundry & ironing, because it means I have clothes to wear.

For my large heating bill, because it means I am warm.

For the alarm that goes off in the early hours, because it means I am alive.

For the lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning & gutters that need fixing, because it means I have a home.

For the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means I have enough to eat.

My shadow that watches me work, because it means I am out in the sunshine.

For the lady behind me singing loudly out of tune in church, because it means I can hear.

Getting a parking spot at the far end of the carpark, because it means I am capable of walking & have a car.

For the wife who says its my turn to cook tonight, because she is home with me.

For the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because he is home & not out drinking.

For the teenagers who are complaining about doing the dishes, because it means they are at home & not on the streets.

For the taxes I pay, because it means I have a job.

For the mess to clean up after a party, because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

For all the unsung heros who, without any thought of receiving anything in return, do something special for one who needs help.

For the strangers I pass in the street who share a passing smile. It only takes a moment but can change a persons day.

Share a smile, brighten up some-ones day, you will feel that much better as well.

Take care
