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 the grass is
getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or... I can be glad 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 I am alive.
Today I can lament over all my parents didn't give when I was growing up or... I can feel
grateful 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 God has 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. |
