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 !!!
