What Decision Will You Make Today?

The secret to being a “morning person” has nothing to do with what time you wake up.
** It doesn’t matter if your morning starts at 4:00 A.M. Or Noon**
No matter when it starts, that is your morning and I’ve learned that the way I treat it will determine what I get back from it.
If I growl and grumble, it’s gonna bite.
Instead, when I wake up, I decide to be grateful I woke up.
I decide to count my blessings instead of complaints.
I decide to be patient instead of frazzled.
I decide to smile instead of frown.
I decide to notice every little joy and count them as such instead of taking them for granted: running water, a bed, a roof, a job, a family, blue sky out my window at a traffic light, tires on my car that take me where I want to go…
These are some of the things that helped me to become a morning person, and come to think of it these are also some of the things that helped me to become a happy person – Neat how that works. 🙂
A string of small decisions…
made moment after moment…
day after day…
But it all begins – each day – with one…
I decide to be grateful.

My motto is : If you wake up above the grass it is a good day I lost my husband of 50 years 9/5/10 And I really needed to put that to the test but I remembered my GOD said you get not cause you ask not so I asked for and got and PRAISE HIM EVERYDAY and NOW I can say I AM happy cause HE set me free Can you imagine what our lives would be without our GOD I can not thank HIM enough and I praise him for you cause you can and do BELIEVE in a SAVIOR and so many nowadays DO NOT THANKS!
Dianne…I love your motto…I lost my husband 1-13-99 so I know that heartache too. Many dark days in the beginning until I realized that everything happens for a reason and the Good Lord is always there for us. We just have to put it in his hands and be thankful for the smallest blessing. Hardships in life can make us even better people if we realize that there is always a “positive” in every negative situation. God Bless You Dianne and may many blessings come your way….Martha
Christie, thanks so much for this. I needed it! It shut my grumbling right up this morning.
I have learned to accept this same outlook on life after going through a very hard time in my life. Counting my blessings every day all day.
I enjoyed this post. I am going to try this tomorrow morning. 🙂
