Today I can grumble2 about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament3 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 embark4 upon a quest to discover new relationships.
Today I can murmur5 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 sculptor6 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!
