Today
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 rejoice 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 . . . 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 God 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!
