What do you Choose

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 in 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 appreciate that I have a place to call home.


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 choose to have a fantastic day! What do you choose?
