It's All About Attitude

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.

1. Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or... I can be thankful the grass is getting watered for free.
   
   
2. Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or... I can be glad my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.
   
   
3. Today I can grumble about my health or... I can rejoice that I am alive.
   
   
4. Today I can lament over all my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or... I can feel grateful they allowed me to be born.
   
   
5. Today I can cry because roses have thorns or... I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
   
   
6. Today I can mourn my lack of friends or... I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.
   
   
7. Today I can whine because I have to go to work or... I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.
   
   
8. Today I can complain because I have to go to school or... I can eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.
   
   
9. Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or... I can feel honored because God has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.
   
   
10. I get to play a big part into what kind of day I will have!
