HAPPY THANKSGIVING CANADA!

One of the decorations I made years ago

for the Recreation Auditorium.
****************

Received the following in an e-mail

and wanted to share it with you.

It's been around quite a while!

Be blessed my friends!

I Am Thankful For...

For the teenager who is not doing dishes 

but is watching TV, 

because that means he is at home 

and not on the streets.
For the taxes 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 a lawn that needs mowing, 

windows that need cleaning, 

and gutters that need fixing, 

because it means I have a home.
For all the complaining I hear about the government, 

because it means that we have freedom of speech.
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.
For my huge heating bill, 

because it means I am warm.
For the lady behind me in my place of worship 

when she 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 too much e-mail, 

because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.
