Life is like a river

By Gunnlaug

I'm thankful for...

...a lot of things! I don't know where to begin and where to stop, really...

At this very moment I'm thankful for my family, the food on the table, our good health, the roof over our heads, the clothes that keep us warm, the privilege of living in a great country like Iceland - and this amazing community in front of me; Blipfoto ;o) (I couldn't resist a bit of mush)

And also, this old list has some good points:

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 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.
