5.7.11

If You Feel Like You've Got the Wind Knocked Out of You...

maybe this will lift your spirits like it did mine:

 Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities
no doubt have crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.

Tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely
and with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with
your old nonsense.

This day is all that is
good and fair.
It is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on yesterdays.

 
 ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Just ran across this today and it's exactly what I need to pass on to a dear friend of mine...could not be more perfect for her right now. Like I read this within 10 minutes after getting off the phone with her. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
