Hi Bogdan, Great quote and a good thing to remember is that we are given a new day to start over if we fall short. Each day is a new present, maybe that is why the day is called the "present"!! We can wipe the slate clean and start over....forgetting that which is in the past and strive toward the future (St. Paul).
