I  AM THANKFUL:   FOR  THE WIFE 
WHO  SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,

FOR  THE HUSBAND 
WHO IS ON THE SOFA
BEING A COUCH POTATO, 
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME
AND NOT OUT  AT THE BARS.

WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES 
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME, NOT ON THE  STREETS.

Got this at a time I really needed to be reminded of the little things in life.  Blessings come in many ways.  Our Heavenly Father answers prayers, even through a bald headed Scot!  Thanks!
