Yesterdays



Southern Louisiana


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;

begin it well and serenely and

 with too high a spirit

 to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This day is all that is good and fair.

It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations,

to waste a moment on yesterdays.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
