What kind of day shall I choose today? Today I can complain about my health, Or I can celebrate being alive.

Today I can moan that it is raining, Or be joyful at all that grows from the rain.

Today I can regret all I don't have, Or rejoice in everything I do.

Today I can mourn everything I have lost, Or eagerly anticipate what's to come.

Today I can complain that I have to work, Or celebrate having a job to go to.

Today I can resent the mess the kids make, Or give thanks that I have a family.

Today I can whine about the housework, Or celebrate having a home.

Today I can cry over the people who don't care for me, Or be happy loving and being loved by those who do. I choose to have a good day today !!!
