Today I am writing two big checks to the government. One check to state and one to federal and I’m starting to feel a bit cranky. Situations like this can really derail a recovering pessimist so …it’s time for an emergency “Three Good Things” session! What could be good about paying taxes (and we all pay them …if you receive a refund it just means you overpaid) I’ll tell you …
- Preparing my taxes is a chance for me to see my accountant …I love her
- Paying taxes means I earned money. Yippee!!!
- When I am on a walk and have to pee …I feel comfortable going into public building because paying taxes makes me part owner. Doesn’t it?
I am also grateful for public safety, education, national parks, inter-library book loans, local nature trails, free symphony in the park, and the mystery persons who pick up road kill, junk and leaves.
Tax day is the best day ever because we are all tithing for a better city, state and country. I’m going to celebrate with my favorite lunch and a potty break at City Hall!
