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 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 murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because the Lord 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!
清晨,我早早醒来,为自己在午夜的钟声敲响前将要做的一切激动不已。我有责任让今天过得充实,我很重要。
选择如何度过每一个日子,这是我的工作。
今天下雨了,所以我可以抱怨;但是,草地无须花费力气去浇灌了,所以我还可以感激。
今天没有足够的钱了,所以我可以难过;但这也使我懂得理性消费,引导我远离浪费,所以我也可以欣喜。
今天为自己的健康问题,我可以满腹牢骚;但自己仍然活着,所以我可以欢呼雀跃。
今天因为小时候父母给予的太少,我可以悲叹不已;但是,他们赋予我生命,所以我也可以感激万分。
今天因为玫瑰上有刺,我可以呜咽哭泣;但带刺的茎上有玫瑰花,所以我又可以欢欣庆贺。
