Kelly, you have done, or will do, as much as you can to safeguard the future, and that is all you can do,
because that is all that it is, a time to come. You cannot know exactly what will happen so ...

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
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, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays...
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Be bold--and mighty forces will come to your aid.
- Basil King (1859-1928) Cleric and writer

Good luck sweetie, you will be in my prayers.
