Thought for today:

“How do you do it?” said night.
“How do you wake and shine?”
“I keep it simple,” said light.
“One day at a time.”

— Lemn Sissay

As is often the case, I found this online.

And as is also often the case it was unattributed, just quoted.

So I found out who wrote it, and liked it enough to buy ‘Gold from the Stone’, Lemn’s newest book of poetry.

And the message of this stanza is so apt – one day at a time.

It brings to mind a lesson from school, ‘Every day in every way I get a little better’.
