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 the Lord 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.
