Some Mornings

Some mornings are more difficult than others. Some mornings you wake up with a headache thirty minutes late and the dog has had diarrhea on the floor and you don't have time to dry your hair all the way so it stays a bit curly which makes you self conscious and you realize that it is already time to leave for work and you are still naked without any makeup and then in the closet you notice something that you put up for an occasion such as this:

Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence:
The bliss of growth
The glory of action
The splendor of beauty
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow only a vision
But today well lived
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore to this day!
Such is the salutation to the dawn.
- Kalidasa, Indian Poet

And you breathe deep. And it is okay.
