To be my sunshine after the rain

I Remember Yesterday
To live is to be other. To feel is impossible if we feel as we felt yesterday: to feel today the same as yesterday is to not feel it is to recall today what we felt yesterday. It is to be the living skeleton of what yesterday was our life, the living skeleton of something lost, never to return.

Yesterday's beauty and joy lie deep
In sorrow's heart, asleep.

Confidence is a direct reflection of past performance. Hence, yesterday is more important than today. Luckily, today is tomorrow's yesterday. So, even if your confidence today isn't optimal, your confidence tomorrow is still within your control.

Yesterday was one of my terrible seasons, and when I arose this morning, I found that I had not sufficiently recovered myself.
WILLIAM COWPER
"Return of His Malady", The Works of William Cowper
January 1 is wonderful, especially for us whose yesterdays are filled with guilt, shame, and fear. Guilt, because of what we could have done but never did; shame, because we had at times bartered our conscience and dignity for a measly sum or momentary pleasure; and fear, because of the unforeseen calamities, illnesses, or adversities that had shattered our fragile sense of security.

Oh the yesterdays of life!
How with joys their hours were rife!
Joys that flew too quick away,
On the wings of yesterday.

My yesterdays walk with me. They keep step, they are gray faces that peer over my shoulder.

Yesterday for contemplation, today for action.
JAMES BURGH

They can take tomorrow and the plans we made
They can take the music that we never played
All the broken dreams take everything
Just take it away
But they can never have yesterday
They can take the future that we'll never know
They can take the places that we said we would go
All the broken dreams take everything
Just take it away
But they can never have yesterday
LEONA LEWIS

It's so clear that all we have now
Are thoughts of yesterday
