A Clean Slate

Whatever your past has been your future is spotless. - unknown


Our past may hold the stains of our mistakes, but what lies ahead has yet to be touched by our words and deeds.  Our future is a clean slate. How clean can we keep it once it becomes our present?

  1. I think about how I can keep my slate clean, all the time!
    I know I ask for for homes a lot, daily.

    1. Hi Christine and thanks for clearing that up. Auto correct can be worrisome sometimes. My slate usually has some smudges.

  2. Hi Linda - I am desperately trying to get that slate clean - and then I can move on .. it is slowly happening .. but I must say I feel easier if everything is done and dusted - if not literally. Cheers and now Spring is coming .. we can get life sorted once again .. Hilary

    1. Yes, Spring is coming. Even though we just had snow/freezing rain, it will be in the upper 60s later this week. I guess that means it's time for some Spring cleaning.

  3. That's a comforting thought that your future could be a clean slate. Never feels like that though, because the chads of regrets cling to a person.

    1. Keeping a clean slate takes work and mine definitely needs a little polish.

  4. My calling card is me, your longlost blogging buddy... :)

    Um, what did I read on Tumblr the other day? Hang on, I'll go "fetch" it...

    Shoot, I can't seem to find it, but yes I agree with this. The moment is all we ever have, and it's always a pretty dang good one, if we let it be!

    1. Hey Jannie, so good to see you again. I've been seeing you around on Facebook but this is better. We do need to make the most of our moments!

  5. Holy cow, this really hit home. My middle son is really maturing. He is in his second year of college and has been agonizing that he didn't "work harder" in high school. Mind you, he did really well. But he is thinking he could have done less video games, worked harder and then gotten in to a college with a scholarship so he could live on campus. I told him basically what you wrote. Don't look back. The past is the past. Make the FUTURE what you want!

    1. Katherine, thank you! It is comments like this that make it all worth while. It is so true that no matter what the past holds, the future is always new and fresh so make the most of it. Best of luck to your son! I was glad to hear that David is doing so much better, too. Blessings!

  6. I would like my present to be on that beach ... and to keep it be my future. I think I'd be able to make that a happy future.
