Sculptor's Attitude
by Author Unknown
"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 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 friend 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 provide 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."
