THE SCULPTOR’S ATTITUDE
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock
strikes midnight.
I have responsibilities to fulfill today. 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…
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 complain because I have to go to school or…
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 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!

Getting all philosophical and stuff on us, huh?
BTW, what’s up with the half-empty glass of water?
Thanks for sharing this
I love that!
Happy Day!!
it is not if the glass is half full or half empty — the question is who took my effing water?
Or you can just tell everyone to fuck off and stay out of your way…
:oD>
Deep. Half full?
