I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes
midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is
to choose what kind of day I am going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the
grass is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my
finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing
up or ...I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have
roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to
discover new relationships.
Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I
have a job to do.
Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and
fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.
Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel
honored because I've been provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped.
And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like
is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have!
Have a GREAT DAY ...unless you have other plans.
