MAKE TODAY A SPECIAL DAY
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 sorry that I don't
have more money
or I can be glad that my finances
encourage me to plan my puchases
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 friendships.
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 have been provided
shelter for my mind and body.
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!
