This poem was shared with some of the Story Time Felts leaders on our weekly phone call by our Founder/CEO Lori Whiting. I love it! Thought you might, too!

Today

Outside my window, a new day I see,
And only I can determine, what kind it will be.
It can be busy and sunny, laughing or gay,
Or boring and cold, unhappy and grey.
My own state of mind is the determining key,
For I am only the person I let myself be.
I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help,
Or be selfish and think of only myself.
I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun,
Or gripe and complain, make it hard on someone!
I can be patient with those who may not understand,
Or belittle and hurt them as much as I can.
But I have faith in myself, and I believe what I say,
I personally intend to make the best of each day.
