Today
Author Unknown
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 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 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 I can 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 have been provided with 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!
