I knew I liked Sue Cameron before I got to meet her at this year's Jonifest. I don't think she would mind my posting something she sent to the list 2 years ago. I've kept this email Sue, and have read it to my guests for the past two Thanksgiving meals. Thanks for sharing this sweetie!
<<I AM THANKFUL... ...for the taxes that I pay because it means that I am employed. ...for the mess to clean after a party because it means 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 who 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 government because it means we have freedom of speech. ...for the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking. ...for my huge heating bill because it means I am warm. ...for the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear. ...for the piles 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 productive. ...for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I am alive. ...for getting too much e-mail because it lets me know I have friends who are thinking of me! ...for having to wait until next year for the new Joni CD because at least there will be one! HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL THOSE WHO CELEBRATE!!! Sue Cameron (Suze)>> For my American buddies, Happy Thanksgiving and for everyone else "Happy Day". Oh and Happy Birthday "Hejira"!! Jimmy
