Mussar: Today I Can!

From Derech Emet Group

TODAY I CAN by Ralph Holt

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 do not have,
Or rejoice in everything I do.

Today I can mourn everything I have lost,
Or eagerly anticipate what is 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 do not care for me,
Or be happy loving and being loved by those who do.

I choose to have a good day today!!!
