Something to think about

[Rachel]

Can we add a poem? I was given this poem a long time ago. I love it and everytime I read it I seem to gain a better understanding and new perspective on events happening in my life.

Desiderata
Written by Max Ehrmann

That is almost a credo for me. I have a rendition on a cd with music and play it regularly.

Now is the only time there is. Make your now wow, your minutes miracles, and your days pay. Your life will have been magnificently lived and invested, and when you die you will have made a difference.

- Mark Victor Hansen

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

Here's one that seems to hit the mark for me this evening:

"In order for people to be happy, sometimes they have to take risks. It's true these risks can put them in danger of being hurt." - Meg Cabot

Back to pondering.
