There are up days and there are down days. Today happens to start as a down day.
I'm supposed to work this afternoon and for some reason, I'm dreading it. A few days ago, I was really looking forward to it, actually. But today, I could hardly pull myself out of bed.
Currently I'm reading "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis and "Heaven" by Randy Alcorn. Both books have been helping me see the spiritual dimension of life a little more clearly. So I know that this blah feeling most likely has a spiritual cause. Incidentally, I'm going through "Praying the Names of God" by Ann Spangler for my quiet times and the name of God this week is "The LORD is my Banner" - God is my victory.
I have a choice today: live as if I'm defeated, or live in the victory of Christ. One would be choosing death. The other would be choosing life.
I think I'll choose life today. What about you?

Hi Olive,
I like your attitude, it is very positive. What Chuck Swindoll said about attitude is so true and I'll like to share with you:
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
