The Thrill is Gone: Romanticizing Yesterday

[Ava Gabrielle]

Good Morning World! Romanticizing yesterday will keep us there. There is nothing & no one that is so special that we should fall so in love with a past encounter or experience that we fail to see the beauty of today and promise of tomorrow. We were not the best we were going to be on yesterday. First step: good or bad, let go of the past, it's over. Fall in love with your future. Have a great day!
