Changes 

 

I can't change the weather, or the news that comes through the television.

I can't change your favorite color, or make the neighbor's dog stop barking.

I can't do a million and one things, maybe even more, but there is one thing I can do.

I can decide how I will spend the next five minutes and after that I can make a decision on the the next five. Sometimes I can do this for a whole day. Sometimes I can't.

Sometimes I have to do what you want, but then I still have the option of choosing how I feel about that. It's one of my little pleasures in life -- feeling good in the moment.

Somehow that makes up for all the things I can't do.
