A Meaningful Mantra

When the alarm went off at 5:00 one morning, I felt SO sleepy. I remembered how long the day was going to be since we had a rezoning meeting at school from 6 to 8 that night. Before my feet hit the floor, I prayed, "Lord, please give me energy and enthusiasm for this day, and don't let me drag around and dread things." Then I realized that this was meaningful alliteration, and would make a good mantra for every work day! Energy and enthusiasm, don't drag and dread!
