Attitude

~ Attitude ~

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!
