Today

No matter what may be going on in your life, speak words that uplift and encourage those around you and wherever you may go.

There is a quote that says, "Be kinder than necessary, you never know what battles someone is fighting."


Today outside my window, a new day I see,
and only I can determine what kind of day it will be.

It can be busy and sunny,
laughing and gay, or boring and cold,
unhappy and gray.

My own state of mind is the determining key,
you see I am the person I let myself be.

I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help,
or be selfish and think only of myself.

I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun,
or gripe and complain and make it hard on someone.

I can be patient with those who may not understand,
or belittle and hurt them as much as I can.

But, I have faith in God,
and believe when I say,
I personally intend to make the best of my day.
