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

Have a GREAT DAY...unless you have other plans.

It really does make you stop and think.  We should all be more grateful for what we have.

Happy July 4th!  Celebrate our freedom!

 Hope you had a super 4th!  I found this here, from a RE/MAXER, isn't it awesome!

That was great!  Thanks so much for sharing it.  I started my day off today with a not-so-great attitude but this kind of shaped me up.  I even feel much better!

Renae,

We all forget how lucky we are.  At the Buffini Turning Points, Brian Buffini has recited this poem to us, many times.  I always feel better after leaving those Turning Points!  I can, actually, hear him speaking when I read this poem.  All good stuff!
