Finishing Old Business

Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.
- William James

Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could;
some blunders and absurdities have crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day;
you shall begin it serenely
and with too high a spirit
to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Forgiveness ... is the finishing of old business
that allows us to experience the present,
free of contamination from the past.
- Joan Borysenko

Let the ending of the year be a time to finish old business.
Tidy up and complete what you can.
Let go of the rest - and forgive yourself.
