If I may, I'll share what this piece says to me.
"Every single day is wonderful; don't lose the day's value with "I should have or I could have." which opens the new day to sadness and takes away what is
From myself,
It is always better to go forward. Yesterday is gone.
Be happy and live in the positive.

@ECBG, Thank you for reminding us of Emerson's wisdom. I've been feeling myself fall into deeper depression of late and was searching around for direction, focus. My first inpatient psych hospital stay was a pilot program for women, 3 weeks of intensive care and therapy and education. Part of our daily morning routine was to gather, read, and reflect on that day's entry in the little book, "Each Day a New Beginning," the title reminiscent of Emerson's and your words. I realized I'd lost touch with some important lessons from those days of reflection, healing, learning. You reminded me to go back to my books and notes from that time, and also to think about how this relates to forgiveness and gratitude, which I feel are intertwined. Forgiving others, but also forgiving ourselves. And finding gratitude for even the tiniest of simple joys each day, writing them down, and cultivating hope. I spent several hours last night doing so, after reading this thread. Hours well spent. Thank you for the gift you gave me. Take good care of yourself, be safe and well.❤️

You're so welcome.
I used to read passages like these to my senior counciling course often.
We also went through Kahl Gilbron's The Prophet which is a guide for life.
Every time I am upset, I pull it out.
You would enjoy it, I believe. I can't be without it.
