If I could walk into each day knowing that the opportunities today are new and have great potential, I can again do all I can do and feel peace that I have done my part this day. Rather than walking into each new day with the burden of yesterdays blunders and doubts of my abilities. If I can do this, each day would be that day when you just feel, "You're in the zone!"<br /> What a great feeling this would be!Deb Frazierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357198767241625023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58792442048302243.post-77484245780058304482012-01-21T11:56:55.959-05:002012-01-21T11:56:55.959-05:00Love this poem.

But yeah, what to do but simply ride the wave. It'll get better soon. :)<br /><br />Many thanks for sharing this.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58792442048302243.post-54236194451862723362012-01-20T07:50:04.316-05:002012-01-20T07:50:04.316-05:00I like that line 'with its hopes and invitatio...I like that line 'with its hopes and invitations'. Although sometimes I'm tired, as I imagine you are too at the end of the week, I do look toward the day like this, and hope you do, too. Thank you for sharing such a good end-of-the-week message, and best wishes in your writing with the students.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
