• Today I have responsibilities to fulfill. 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... 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...I can 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 Life 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!
