Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely...”
: o ) Ralph Waldo Emerson
Doing what you can and doing the best you can. Is there any more than you can ask or expect for yourself? Probably not, in reality absurdities will creep in. LOL : ) Emerson puts it well in this quote. So understanding that tomorrow is a new day should be our first understanding. Let today go and start fresh.
In fact each period of life will have its blunders and absurdities and when we can understand this and break the period into its smallest unit, a twelve hour period, an hour, and yes if we can even break it down to a minute of blunder and absurdity. How awesome that could be for our planning and understanding that it is indeed time to move on.
Be done with it, a new day is right here right now.
Do the best you can. Share that sincere smile, Share your love. Share that laughter and let your day begin.
Smiles to you this day and everyday : )
(NEW) Weekly Affirmation for this week.
This day I enjoy stillness. Stillness and peace and tranquility surrounds me, it fills my spirit and soul with love and I embrace it. Noise does not live with me it rushes by with its purpose to disrupt I choose to let it rush by on its journey. Each day and especially this day I live with peace in my heart, love in my spirit and joy flows freely from me. I am in harmony with quiet nature and its signature that graces all life. Happiness flows through and around me. Smiles are shared.
Enjoy your week, share a smile, share in some laughter and dream big and love always : ) Smiles to you this day and everyday
