I am thankful for a floor that needs mopping and windows that need cleaning,
because it means I have a home

I am thankful for the parking spot I find at the farend of the parking lot,
because it means I am capable of walking

I am thankful for the pile of laundry and ironing,
because it means I have clothes to wear
