Good morning fellow Africans and friends of Africa.
"YARL: As I See It, Too", is a periodic presentation
of my opinion on either sharing similar or expanding
topics of significance to me as they affect the human
peaceful co-existence. YARL, here, represents me,
Richard YARL.
In the Subject field, updates to my opinions will be
indicated by dates (mm/dd/yy).
Let's kickoff with this: What Will Today Be Like?
I woke up early today, excited over all I
get to do before the clock strikes midnight.
I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am
important. My job is to choose what kind
of day I am going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather
is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass
is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more
money or I can be glad that my finances
encourage me to plan my purchases wisely
and guide me away from waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or I
can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that my
parents didn't give me when I was growing
up or I can feel grateful that they allowed
me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns
or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I
can excitedly embark upon a quest to
discover new relationships.
Today I can whine because I have to go to
work or I can shout for joy because I have
a job to do.
Today I can complain because I have
to go to school or eagerly open my mind
and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.
Today I can murmur dejectedly because I
have to do housework or I can feel honored
because God has provided shelter for my
mind, body and soul.
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be
shaped. And here I am, the sculptor who
gets to do the shaping.
What today will be like is up to me. I get
to choose what kind of day I will have!
Have a great day, unless you have chosen
other plans.
Cheers!
Richard Yarl
