The mess to clean up after a party because it means I am surrounded by friends.
The taxes I pay because it means I am employed.
The clothes that fit a little snug because it means I have food to eat.
A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.
All the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech.
The space I find at the back of the carpark because it means I am capable of walking.
My huge heating bill because it means I am warm.
The lady behind me at Church that sings off key because it means I can hear.
The piles of laundry because it means I have clothes to wear.
Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means that I have been productive.
The alarm that goes off in the early hours of the morning because it means I’m alive.
