This poem has helped me so many times, it's in a frame on the wall and when I am really, really down I read it aloud....very loud!!

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley

Thanks for that Popsy, it's perfect. I have printed it out to read every day.
 
A wonderful friend posted this on Facebook today. It's marvellous don't you think?

"Don't ruin a good today by thinking about a bad yesterday".

I do think that it might be said not to obsess about a bad yesterday really, sometimes it's hard to let go of it and not just from yesterday either. What about all that stuff we hang onto from our lives? What a wonderful thing it would be to live in the moment, just for now.

And it's true that worrying about stuff we would do better to forget about really does mess up the 'now'.
