"What Kind of Day Shall I Have?"
I woke up early today,
excited over all I get to do before the day ends.
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 ...
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 Life 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
Have a GREAT DAY ... unless you have other plans
