Today

I woke up early today, excited over
all I get to do before the clock
strikes midnight.

I have responsibilities to fulfill today.
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 play 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 of being friendly.
Today I can whine because I
have to go to work or I can shout with
joy because God has given me the power
to *create* wealth.
Today I can murmur 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?
