The best day to write
was yesterday, but know
today is now here.

The best day to act
was yesterday, but still
today's a good choice.

Today's forgiveness
heals yourself, making way to
forgive others next.

Dear Judey ~ At this stage the 'Best' day is everyday ~ btw; haven't seen you around: Are you BreakingUp with me? Who would blame you...! 'j'.in.l.a
Very good advice, Judey. Lovely poems.
What a great message.
This is so SO true and extremely sound advice! Loved your sets of Haikus!
Great!! ❤️😊💕
Short, but sweet… ‘The best day to act was yesterday, but still today's a good choice.’ So true. Thanks Judey!
Needed this in my heart today x Beautiful and very true 🤍
True, true, & ever so true. Excellent tri-partite haiku/senryu there, Judey.
Beautifully said. Every day we have a chance to do better than the next. 💗
Beautifully written! And a message I think I needed to hear today.
Nice Judey!!! I love this!!! I like the parts about forgiveness. So many people are not willing to forgive themselves. I know I've been there. I know that I am far from perfect and yes, I make the same mistakes over and over. But, does that make me a bad person? Definitely not... maybe a little dumb, maybe a little stubborn. But the important thing is I totally recognize this in myself and I take responsibility for my emotions and errs in life. I can give myself a break and tell myself that all is fine and move forward and be a functioning and happy person. I do not need to let others pull me down - despite how much some want to try and drag me through the mud - it ain't going to work because I have strong sense of self love. Those that are out there trying to publicly harm me or hurt me - well I say nice things about them in my mind and as hard as it is for me I forgive them in my mind - it doesn't matter if they forgive me or not because their own sense of security is at work within their own selves. But, for myself I will continue to chant or think good things on those that throw negativity toward me - even if they think I don't - I still do it.
