Happy New Year - Reason to be thankful


Happy New Year to all our friends and family. There is alot of talk about 2011 being the year of change because of the 11 which is significant in numerology.

If you have not made your new years resolution, try being more thankful for everything you have. Here is a text my friend Chrissy sent me through today which sums it up beautifully.

I AM THANKFUL FOR

MY WIFE
Who says it's hot dogs tonight (not my fav)
because she is home with me
And not out with someone else.

FOR THE HUSBAND
Who is on the sofa being a couch potatoe
Because he is home with me
and not out at the bar

FOR THE TEENAGER
Who has a messy room and is refusing to clean it
because it means she is at home
and not on the streets

FOR THE TAXES I PAY
Because it means
I am employed and earning money

FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
Because it means
I have been surrounded by friends

FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG IN THE NEW YEAR
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 THE LAWNS THAT NEED MOWING, WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING, GUTTERS NEED FIXING
Because it means I have a home

FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
Because it means we have freedom of speech

FOR THE ONLY PARKING SPOT AT THE FAR END OF THE CARPARK
Because it means
I am capable of walking and I have been blessed with transportation

FOR THE HUGE HEATING BILL AFTER THIS COLD WINTER
Because it means I am warm

FOR THE LADY IN CHURCH SINGING OFF KEY
Because it means I can hear

FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING
Because it means I have clothes to wear

FOR THE ACHING MUSCLES AT THE END OF THE DAY
Because it means I have been capable of working hard

FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF EARLY IN THE MORNING
Because it means I am alive

And finally for too many silly emails
Because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.

Live well, laugh often and love with all of your heart.

Have a great day
