ATTITUDE ... Author unknown
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 raining,
or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.
- Today I can feel sad that I do not 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 my parents didn't give me when I was growing up,
or I can grateful 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 go to work,
or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.
- Today I can complain because I have go to school,
or eagerly open my mind and fill my mind with rich tidbits of knowledge.
- Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to housework,
or I can feel honoured because God has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.
- Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to housework,
or I can feel honoured 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!
Have a great day ..... unless you have other plans.
