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 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 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.
I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before
the clock strikes midnight.
