(This is a really long quotes but it is a quote)"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 more money or I can be gladthat
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 God 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 like is up to me.
I get to choose what kind of day I will have!
Have a great day...unless you have other plans."
