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 encumbered with your old nonsense.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Handling criticism: if it's untrue, disregard it. If it's unfair, keep from irritation. If it's ignorant, smile. If it's justified, learn from it.
Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.
- Victor Hugo
He who talks without thinking runs more risks than he who thinks without talking.
Hold yourself to a higher standard than anyone expects of you. Never excuse yourself.

i was thinking and praying hard last night and today. and i feel that even though i am kind of having to shut off from everything, it will be for my benefit. i think its more practice for me to just listen, and not speak. to think more before speaking, if i speak at all. things are frustrating, im hurt, yes. but everything happens for a reason. so i just need to fight through this, and find the lesson god is trying to help me learn. and i do that and keep my mouth shut, il be back at church and stuco next week. which i need desperately, so im kind of going silent the next few days. which im hoping is enough. im hoping my mom doesnt just have one of her rants and grounds me when iv done nothing, but well see.
pray for me
