The fresh fallen snow reminds me of a blank slate. It is
beautiful and unmarred by anything. I love how pretty it looks before anyone
walks or drives on it. Each day is a blank slate too, a chance to start over.
No matter what you did yesterday, today is a chance to start over, a chance to
do the right thing. Yesterday’s choices don’t have to define who you are today.
Maybe you yelled at your kids, your husband, your parents, the grocery store
checker, the car in front of you, the car behind you…it doesn’t matter, today
you get a fresh start to do it right. I keep thinking of something I said to my
kids last night. It wasn’t bad but it is still something I wish I hadn’t said.
Today is a new day to watch my words closer, to choose nice and good words, words
that build up and not to tear down. We are only given one life to live and I
want to live a life of no regrets. Today, I can start over, treat others like I
want to be treated, chose to make the right choices with what I eat and whether
or not I exercise, yesterday’s choices don’t matter today. Just because I made
a mistake yesterday doesn’t mean I have to repeat the same mistake today or
tomorrow. Today is a day to spend my
time doing the things that need to be done, not just flitting my time away.
What areas of your life do you need a blank slate in? What things do you do
over and over again, even though you don’t want to? “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” Romans 7:15 
Today is a new day, you get a new start. Stop repeating
yesterday’s mistakes and start living a new life today.
“Create in me a pure heart, O
God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10
I don't know if you can see the heart in this bottom picture or not, but it reminds me that their is beauty in everything, including snow melting. Let's look for the good, the beauty in all things.
