Finish each 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 and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

Each day since updating this blog last, has been filled with moments of emotional highs and lows, adventures of random sorts, and continuous thoughts of awe. I will admit that throughout this time I have relied on the above quote for inspiration as often times, I felt less effective then I aimed to be. This I do know was partly a result of the lethargy and aches caused by the malaria which has lingered for some time now. Between the ill feelings and the mental challenges resulting from the reality of my inability to solve each issue I encountered on a daily basis, I caught myself at times lingering in yesterday, wondering what I could have done more effectively, or perhaps feeling twinges of irritation for not doing a specific something. This is when I called upon memory of the words of Emerson and remind myself that I have done that best I could with what I had...and it was time to move on, to 'finish each day and be done with it.' To live my life 'with too high a spirit to be cumbered with my old nonsense' - indeed is a daily aim.
