Our Beehive advisor taught the combined YW Lesson #6 last week and gave them each a copy of the following poem. I thought it was great and wanted to pass it on to any of you who haven't taught lesson 6 yet, or who may need a poem on Attitude in the future......

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 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 friendships.

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 God 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!

Have a great day....unless you have other plans.
