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;
you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be
encumbered with your old nonsense.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good ideas and innovations must be driven into existence by courageous patience.

But the biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make while
doing this. I did not live in the moment enough. this is particularly
clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. there
is one picture of the three of them sitting in the grass on a quilt in
the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages 6, 4 and 1. And I
wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how
they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I
had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner,
bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and
the getting it done a little less."
-Anna Quindlen

counselor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter.
By study, by reading, by thinking, one may innocently divert and
pleasantly entertain himself, as in all weathers, as in all fortunes.
- R.H. Barrow

(33: 25). Charles Spurgeon says, "The Lord, the ever-merciful, has
appointed every moment of sorrow and pang of suffering. If He ordains

I can wade grief
Whole pools of it - I'm used to that.
But the least push of joy
Breaks up my feet,
And I tip - drunken.
