Finish Each Day...

[sparrow]

Here's a great quote from Emerson, for all of us "wagon fallers" who tend to be too hard on ourselves.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow - what a ride!’ — Peter Sage

You have no idea how much I needed this today. I've been backsliding since Easter weekend (those darn holidays get me every time!) and I was feeling pretty down about it. I feel like I don't hoave much to show for my friggin cardio--lol!

Sparrow,

Thank you for this wise reminder from one of my favorite poets.

You have no idea how much I needed to hear this today, although not for the same reasons as the "off the wagon" gang.

Again, thank you for sharing.

Hi Sparrow,
It's brilliant! You posted this just when I needed to see this. It's also a reminder of why he's one of my favourite poets:7
