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.
