The Present Hour

Zephyranthes candida


One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. He only is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with worry, fret and anxiety. Finish every day, and be done with it. You have done what you could.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Those were wonderful sentiments of Emerson ... I like the idea of owning the day. Pretty flowers too!
