I woke up early today, exited 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 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。我早早醒來，為自己在午夜鐘聲前將要做的一切激動不已。我有責(zé)任讓今天過的充實。我很重要。 選擇如何度過每一天，這是我的工作。 今天下雨了，我可以抱怨雨天，也可以感激草地不用再去澆灌。 今天沒有足夠的錢了，我可以難過，也可以欣喜其讓我懂得了理性消費和引導(dǎo)我遠離浪費。 今天我可以因為健康問題而抱怨，也可以慶幸我仍然活著。 今天我可以悲嘆小時候父母給予的太少，也可以萬分感激他們賦予了我生命。 今天我可以因為玫瑰帶刺而哭泣，也可以為刺上的有玫瑰花而感到歡喜。 今天我可以悲傷于朋友太少，也可以為未來可以開拓更多的人際關(guān)系而興奮不已。 今天我可以為上班而感到難過，也可以高呼我還有工作可以去做。 今天我可以為做家務(wù)而唉聲嘆氣，也可以為上帝賜予了我這身體和靈魂的避風(fēng)港，而倍感榮耀。 今天伸展在我面前，等待我去塑造，在此，我就是決定它什么樣子的雕塑家。 今天是什么樣，完全由我決定，今天如何度過，全由我來選擇。
