Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities
no doubt have 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

It sucked. I’ve been in a foul mood all week, and my birthday didn’t make it any better. I don’t know why I’ve been like this. OK, I do know why. What I don’t know is why I’m letting it affect me like this.

Ok, I’ll feel sorry for myself this weekend, then it’s over. Starting Monday, the past is past. I can’t change it, so I’ll move on.

Tomorrow is my birthday. That means it’s time for my annual Birthday Resolutions. Besides the usual better health and wealth resolutions, I have a few specific ones.

I’m going to get down to a 30″ waist. I’d like washboard abs, but that’s probably a bit much. I’m going to run a 10k in Jamestown next month, a half marathon in Columbia in November, and a marathon in Myrtle Beach next February.

And, in a departure from the norm, I’m going to find everyone I’ve ever hurt with my temper and unrealistic expectations, and apologize and beg for forgiveness.

That might take awhile.

I suppose I need to accept the fact that sometimes things don’t work out, and sometimes I can’t make things better, and sometimes when things go wrong they stay wrong. I need to get past this and move on with my life.

My father had a terrible temper, and my mother was very emotional. I inherited both traits. I get worked up over everything, even the little things. I need to stop being bothered by this little thing, and go on to the next little thing. And not let the next one bother me.
