Thankful Even In The Storm

A woman was always able to find something for which she was thankful.  One morning there was a terrible snow storm, but she still showed up in time for work, and she was thankful.  Her supervisor was surprised to see her, and was equally surprised to hear that she was thankful to make it to work in such a storm.

When asked why she was so thankful, she said that she was thankful that she lived so close to work.  Her supervisor still did not understand how she could even walk on the icy sidewalks with the blowing winds.  She said that she was so thankful that she was able to crawl to work on her hands and knees.  Her supervisor was astounded, and asked what was so wonderful about crawling to work on her hands and knees.  The woman smiled and said, "During the blizzard in the early morning light, no one was able to see me!"
