Pieces

Never start the day With broken pieces Of yesterday, And never end the day With those pieces Still in pieces. If you put them back together, They're much easier to put away.

So true! What a wonderful metaphor, Jim, spoken with simple eloquence. This is a fav for me. I really love it. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and challenging all of us to be aware of resolving the day so it doesn't become baggage at night as each of us has "broken pieces!" Sending you blessings and my gratitude!
