Your Writer’s Notebook Writing Your Way to Success

“One day at a time –      this is enough Do not look back      and grieve over the past,      for it is gone; And do not be troubled      about the future,      for it has not yet come. Live in the present,      and make it so beautiful      that it will be worth remembering.”                                                 Ida Scott Taylor
