F riday Tale... Approaching Each Day I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. 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. ·...
