How We Get Over

A  L  O  H  A !
How I Got Over by Aretha Franklin on Grooveshark

 Your personal challenges
have taught you
much-










 - but they
are NOT
your identity-















Challenges,
mistakes,
& shortcomings
say nothing
about
YOU-

It is what
YOU
do next
that really
tells the tale;

 All about 
who you
really are.










 " Finish each day and be done with it.

 You have done what you could; 

some blunders and absurdities have crept in; 

forget them as soon as you can. 

Tomorrow is a new day; 

you shall begin it serenely 

and with too high a spirit 

to be encumbered 

with your old

 nonsense. "

Emerson

Good moods prevail as fair winds fill the sails if we but let them blow.

Yes, I agree with this philosophy Cloudia - do not dwell on mistakes of the past but learn from them.

Too often I let the day come to its own close. SOmetimes you need to do that. Not every day though.

Now that did make me feel better because I did something stupid at work the other day.

Your words greatly inspire me. Yesterday I almost allowed a young man to get me outside myself. Luckily I was able to come to my senses befor anything drastic happened. Every night I always ask myself what have I learned from the day - yesterday taught me to be proactive in my thoughts, words, and deeds. I am always in control no matter the situation, circumstances - I determine my response. Thanx Cloudia. Have a wonderful holiday. Cheers my friend!!

Thank you. I try and accept responsibility. Not necessarily for the position I find myself in, but certainly for my next steps.
Have a wonderful weekend.

As I told someone today, It's good to look back but not to stare.
