Thank God for dirty dishes; they have a tale to tell.
While other folks go hungry, we’re eating pretty well.
With home, and health, and happiness, we shouldn’t want to fuss;
For by this stack of evidence, God’s very good to us.

What a great poem for Thanksgiving week! I have much to be thankful for, starting with my dirty dishes. Also on my Gratitude list are:
• You – the readers of this article.
• Kyle, Sugar and Ebony who show me daily the meaning of unconditional love.
• My friends and family, for all they contribute to the fabric of my life.
• My work, which I love.
• My health, so that I am able to work and play.

If you have anything special you’d like to share this Thanksgiving season, please post it to my blog http://blog.toughestcustomer.com so that we may all share in your joy.
