True.

"Finish each 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; you shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson -

Yes, YES, YES!!!!! I am actually going to use it in my RS Lesson in two weeks. It's on divorce.....sad. I want to make the point that we, as women, often dredge up old things that should have died a natural death eons ago. I don't know why it such a hard thing to learn. Young women - take heed... learn the lesson now! It's much harder later on when habits are more difficult to change. It will be a blessing to you, your marriage, your friendships, your family at large. Seeing you forgive yourself and others will also, teach much to your children that will bless their lives forever. So there!

Great quote! I agree with Mom. Sometimes we need to not just say you have forgiven someone, but you need to forget it and move on. Especially if it's something that no longer is relevant to the situation! I'm going to steal your quote. Thanks!

I have to comment on Little Orphan Annie singing Tomorrow. What's with this "You're always a day away?" Does that mean that tomorrow never comes. Bummer.
