The Best Day

 

Newell Convers Wyeth - Buttonwood Farm, 1919


“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 - Collected Poems and Translations, 1803-1882.



“To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings.” 

Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page vii:1-2


“Miracles are both beginnings and endings, and so they alter the temporal order. They are always affirmations of rebirth, which seem to go back but really go forward. They undo the past in the present, and thus release the future.” 

A Course in Miracles T-1.I.13:1-3
