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!
What will you choose to do with Today?
Have a Great Day . . . unless you have
other plans.
