Here is one view of my morning:
I’m sitting at my kitchen table watching it *POUR* down rain outside. Ugh. It is raining so hard, I can’t go walking. I certainly can’t go for a bike ride. It’s even too miserable out to go shopping. What an awful day. <Sigh>
Here’s another view:
I’m sitting at my kitchen table feeling thankful that all of this rain isn’t snow! We were lucky to have great weather this week but it is only February, after all. Still, the rain reminds me that Spring is just around the corner and I’m so thankful for that. I can even see the tulips starting to peek out of the mulch. It’s a good day to spend at home, reading and writing.
Friday Food For Thought…
The key difference between the two descriptions above is attitude. I can choose to see the rain as a major inconvenience ruining my day; or, I can view it as a part of life and a sign of good things to come. I use the word “choose” because how I approach the day and the events that happen really is my choice. I can be negative and critical or I can be positive and encouraging. I can see all the problems or be focused on all the opportunities. I can frown my way through the day or I can smile. What I focus my energy on is up to me.
Your attitude is up to you. What attitude are you bringing to today?
