            Take Each Day As It Comes

              Write it on your heart
              that every day is the best day in the year.
              He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
              who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

              Finish every day and be done with it.
              You have done what you could.
              Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
              Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
              begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
              to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

              This new day is too dear,
              with its hopes and invitations,
              to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

                    “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

                      “If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
