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
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 it's hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

So true, i wish and hope to do so:)
you bring us a lovely reminder...and i thank you.
Thank you Gulnaz & Finnegan. An effective pick-me-up (with a warm cup of cocoa and a cuddle from that special someone!)
I'll add this to my list of favorite poems. Well, at least to the inspirational ones then.
The trick is to actually implement the words. Often I find that despite knowing what I should do, I still revert back to doing someting I shouldn't. But it doesn't mean I ever stop trying, and these kind of poems and reminders only help.
Thanks :)

hakkyzl, that is the name of an anciet priest who roamed the deserts of arabia in search of a purple flower. the flower if burnt when mars is aligned with venus produced vapors so transcedental that a bliss quite unlike any was yours till your breathed your last. for this precious flower hakkyzl was called both a mad man and the servant of the devil. one night he was turned out by his brother because the brother could not bear the taunts of his village anymore . he sat under the cold distant moon, shivering and praying when he fainted. he felt sorry for his brother but he was hungry too and his heart broke. he fainted from a broken heart they say. he did not come around but when the found him, they also found purple flowers growing in abundance at his feet.

I so so so agree with this
