Choices

I can choose to:
a) complain that I don't get much done during the day
or
b) enjoy the time I get to spend with my son

I can choose to:
a) be annoyed that my legs are sore
or
b) feel grateful that I am able to work out

I can choose to:
a) see my husbands imperfections
or
b) realize that he was WAY more good qualities than not so good ones and love that his imperfections are what make him who is is. And that person is my best friend, my eternal companion, my other half.


I can choose to:
a) pine over all the things I don't have that I want
or
b) be grateful for all the things I DO have

I can choose to:
a) dwell on my trials and all the challenges life throws at me
or
b) be grateful for all of my blessings

I can choose to:
a) look at my long list of to-dos and beat myself up over what I didn't get done
or
b) congratulate myself for what I did get done...even if it was very little

I can choose to:
a) hate the extra fat on my body
or
b) be grateful that I have enough food to eat


I can choose to:
a) complain about keeping the house clean
or
b) be thankful I have a roof over my head

I can choose to:
a) be frustrated that my back and knees constantly hurt
or
b) thank my Heavenly Father for giving me a body

I can choose to:
a) see my imperfections
or
b) see my strengths

I can choose to:
a) gossip
or
b) serve others

I can choose to:
a) compare
or
b) see the good in others

I can choose to:
a) be miserable
or
b) be happy

It's all about choices.


And I choose "B".
