I found this on the Internet so it is no credit to me, it is definitely a brighter way of looking at things.

• The taxes I pay because it means I am employed.
• The clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.
• My shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.
• A lawn that has to be road, Windows that have to be washed and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.
• The spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.
• All the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have the freedom of speech.
• The lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear.
• The huge piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby.
• The alarm goes off in the morning hours because it means that I am alive.
