today

 

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!
