* **I am thankful...**
.. for the teenager who is not cleaning his room, but watching TV, because it means she/he is at home, not on the streets. .. 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 all the complaining I hear about the Government, because it means we have freedom ofspeech. .. 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 and using those limbs. .. for the alarm that goes off in the early morning, 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 and are trying to make me smile even when they are out of touch.. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "English Learner's Cafe" group.
