Approaching Each Day.

i woke up early today; excited at all i get to do before the clock strikes midnight. my job is to choose what kind of day i am going to have:

today i can complain because the weather is rainyor i can be thankful that the grass is watered for free.

today i can feel sad that i dont 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 didnt give me when i was growing 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.

toady i can mourn my lack of friends or i can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new job relationships.

today i can whine because i have to go to work or i can shout for joy because i have a job to go to.

today i can complain because i have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with knge and adventure.

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. and i shall decide what kind of day i shall have.

how shall i live tomorrow.

i got this from the booklet in LTC and i think its really very good. i liked the roses and thorns best :)
