“We rest; a dream has power to poison sleep.
We rise; one wand’ring thought pollutes the day.
We feel, conceive, or reason; laugh or weep,
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away;
It is the same: for, be it joy or sorrow,
The path of its departure still is free.
Man’s yesterday may ne’er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but Mutability!”
―Percy Bysshe Shelley
Past
At Times…
“At times it may seem as though you and your past are one. Sometimes we fail to differentiate between what has happened to us and who we are today. If you have a hard time getting beyond that damaging mind-set let me encourage you right now. You are not your past. Although you are changed and shaped by past experiences, who you were yesterday does not control the person you have the potential to become tomorrow.” ―Sue Augustine
Today
“Today I close the door to the past, open the door to the future, take a deep breath, step on through and start a new chapter in my life.” —Unknown Author
It’s Being Here Now That’s Important
“It’s being here now that’s important. There’s no past and there’s no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can’t relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don’t know if there is one.” —George Harrison
The Reason People Find…
“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.” –Marcel Pagnol
Oh, Yes
I’m feeling mentally and emotionally null and void this morning. This week didn’t exactly go according to plan, but that’s okay. If I can manage to not be sick today in any capacity, I should be able to get some work done. Of course, it’s not truly work when you’re forcing yourself, but we all do what we have to.
Thank GOD it’s Friday!
