Today

Today is almost over for me and I may not have managaed to do all the positive things below but tomorrow is another day in which to suceed and for this I am grateful.

Today
I woke up early, 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 will have today.

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 body, mind 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.
