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 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 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 I've been 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.

From the Heart of Angel45_2B
This is the Day that the Lord has made rejoice and be glad in it. You will have many choices to make each and every day. Some days you may have to make the same choice each time. Other time it may happen you will be given an opportunity to do something for someone one and it is your choice whether to do it or to pass it up. That chance may never happen again. So the next time your are eager to complain about how bad your day went first remember that you did have the choice to make it better. How you chose to handle things that came your way was the reason you had such a bad day. Remember: Only YOU can choose to have a Good Day. Thank your Sharon for sending this story to me.
