Found at Hanlie’s…

…and I figured she wouldn’t mind me sharing it here. Original post.

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 cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today I can mourn my lack of friends or 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 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.

Losing weight you have already lost sucks big donkey balls. I’m working on eight pounds that I’ve lost before… twice. Such as life. BUT, look at it from the other side – you’ve lost it once so you can lose it again. It’s not impossible because you’ve already proved it’s possible.
