I AM THANKFUL… For the wife who says it's hot dogs tonight because she is home with me, not with someone else. For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means she 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 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 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. For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means that I am alive.

Be open minded…

sometimes when you are closed minded… you miss the best things that life has to offer!

“Our minds are finite, and yet even in these circumstances of finitude we are

surrounded by possibilities that are infinite, and the purpose of life is to grasp as much as we can out of that

infinitude.” ~Alfred North Whitehead~

Be willing to be uncomfortable. Be comfortable being uncomfortable. It may be tough, but it's a small price

to pay.

A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible

means!" His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the

Bible means?" The son replied, "I do know!" "Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?" "That's easy, Daddy." the

young boy replied excitedly, "It stands for 'Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.'"

TOP SIGNS YOU'RE AT A LAME NEW YEAR'S PARTY

• To give it a Times Square feel, everyone is groped, fondled and pick-pocketed.

• The 'Party Hats' look suspiciously like stolen traffic cones. • There's a "Happy 1995" sticker on the packet of shrimp you've

been eating all night. • It's January 6th. • Prison regulations require lights out at 10:00 pm. • The guests have decided to start the midnight countdown at

10,000. • At midnight everyone gathers around to watch your Uncle

Earl's pants drop. • You hear a guy doing a count down before using the bathroom. • The 'Champagne' tastes suspiciously like apple juice mixed

with Alka Seltzer.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION A young man at a New Year’s party turns to his friend and asks for a cigarette. 'I thought you made a New Year’s resolution to quit smoking,' his friend says. 'I'm in the process of quitting,' the man says. 'Right now, I am in the middle of phase one.' 'What's phase one?' 'I've quit buying.'

WHAT’S FOR DINNER? A man feared his wife was not hearing as well as she used to, and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the doctor a better idea about her hearing loss. "Here's what you do," said the doctor "Stand about 40 feet away from her and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response." That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away. Let's see what happens." In a normal tone he asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?" No response. So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife, and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again, no response.. So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again, there is no response. So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?" "Bill, for the 5th time, CHICKEN!"
