My Old Nonsense

“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 encumbered with your old nonsense. “

Ralph Waldo Emerson,

US essayist & poet
(1803 - 1882)

I just stole this quote from a friend’s website who in turn, stole it from Emerson (referenced properly of course.) Wouldn’t that be nice though, going through life one day at a time? I would kill to have that kind of Pooh-Bear mind-set. I guess I could try to forget each day, learn the lessons and move on. But I think it’s the worrying about the future that brings up the cob-webs of the past. Heck, I don’t even want to be aware of being in the moment sometimes. It’s so distracting, from … well … stuff.
