ATTITUDE ... Author unknown



I woke 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 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.
