For a different point of view:

Thank God for dirty dishes,

they have a tale to tell;

while others may go hungry,

we're eating very well.

I am thankful for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.... I am thankful for the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby. ~Nancie J. Carmody
