a favorite quote makes me feel lighter than air...


Dear family--
"Freeeeeeeeeee!" from worrying about the yesterdays....
below is : One of my favorite quotes that makes me feel -as mr emerson put it "to high a spirit to be cumbered" (thus the pics of the balloons.....


'Finish each 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."


Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hi family you'll be happy to know that besides "baby stepping" I have added another philosophy to my outlook--and that is the quote listed above.

as for me....

I am changing one of my old habits:

mor specifically..in the past--when I made mistakes

"I don't often, make a mistake but when I do I admited I was wrong"
(ha-obviously you recognize that quote from: what about bob)

and as a result just kept beating myself up over this or that...but I have come to love this quote by Ralph Emerson--I thought you might like it too--and the best part is I'm going to live by it...and leave the past in the past and do the best I can each day--for you that means: that you won't have to listen to me--relive my mistakes and hear so much about my remorse or as we say "coulda-- woulda--- shoulda's' --so I just wanted to post that and advise you to do the same--it seems to be working good for me---"mashed potatoes and gravey...Marie" so if I have made a "blunder" with any of you in what I have said or done--please forgive me K? and move on--and I will too --- start each day anew... (hey that rhymes--I'm a poet and don't know it) ha! I'm in a silly mood today can you tell?
