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 complain when I get out of bed about my aches and pains or I can thank God that I can serve Him another day here on earth.

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.

"This is the day the Lord hath made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it!"
