It's funny how each day brings new hope and new challenges, all in one. I wake up thankful for each day and the possibilities it brings. Then, some nights I go to bed serene and quiet, no worries bothering my heart or soul. Other nights, I go to bed in such turmoil that I hardly get a wink of sleep. The good news is, I thank the Lord every day for what he brings, as it is up to me to make the choices to "have a good day."
It's up to me
to choose to see the positive in each day.
It's up to me
to choose to embrace those positives, whether fleeting moments or long,
enjoyable hours.
It's up to me
to choose actions that are to my benefit, not my detriment.
It's up to me
to choose to accept that I cannot change others.
It's up to me
to realize that change may never happen for those others.
It's up to me
to honor my children and to do what is best for them.
It's up to me
to fight for what is right.
It's up to me
to honor my agreements, even when it may not have been the best, or even
right, agreement in the first place.
It's up to me
to thank God for the serenity, courage and wisdom He bestows upon me day
after day.
It's up to me
to be engaged in the kids' and my life.
It's up to me
to enjoy the moments I can and to restore myself to be able to face
the next moment, hour, or day.
It's up to me
to live the life I am meant to live by following His lead.
