Last Day of January Resolution

"Write on your heart that
Today is the Best Day
"


I've had this stained glass suncatcher for many years,
a present from my mom, when I was in graduate school.

A month ago, my friend Rebecca Sprigg posted:
"Emerson is on my mind tonight.
Happy New Year friends!
"

Thanks to Becky for sharing the following
words of wisdom on New Year's Eve:
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
.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

Enough excellent transcendental advice
to get you through the entire year!
