Yesterday was hard.  It was tough to focus, tough to push through.  I was overtired and I’m dealing with some transitions in my work environment – but let’s face it, who isn’t?!  I hardly had the motivation to get off the elevator; yet, when I did finally get settled into my cube, I found myself surfing various news sites and counting down to the moment when I could clock out.  Before I knew it, I’d read several weeks’ worth of Dilbert comics online.  Sound familiar?

As I commuted home, I was so convicted that I hadn’t been an effective steward of the time, life, health, and strength I’d been given for that 24-hour span that I determined to make today better.  Amazingly, it seemed God become the wind beneath my wings to help bring that to pass.  Today, it didn’t seem so laborious to start my morning.  I spoke to someone kind who was waiting for the train.  There was a melody in my heart.  I thought of one work-related task I could accomplish today – and I did it!  Things started looking up.

I guess the choice was mine all along!  What attitude will you choose today?
