Don’t grieve for the day that is done
There is no way you can bring it back
Don’t give up laughing till your belly aches
For there is no pleasure equal to this
Rally your emotions to the sunny side
For it is true that you are their master
It’s a task that falls into the doable
You just have to guard against pessimism
Make today the landmark day when
You will stop Lamenting for all that’s happened
And go forward with a will to make
The best of life and enjoy its every treasure

One of the best lines I ever read in a book said something like this: “We are making hay when we should be making whoopie.” Let’s eat the cake first! 🙂

Absolutely right that nothing can change your past. But lemme add this too”don’t flee away from your emotions, but feel it to the core”..sometimes you know, it’s tough to move on with grief (though people say the same), but of course we can move forward with grief. It will never be an opposing force to the smiles you experience in the same breath..

You are absolutely right Akhila. It is essential to face the grief and come to terms with it before we can move forward. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
