Wow, it is like a metaphor to indicate that we are building our lives everyday.
Continue the good work, Eric. =)
Thank you Yoshiko > we are all builders but in which location….
You are welcome. It is indeed a good reminder.
Reblogged this on Sharmishtha Basu.
That’s very sweet Sharmishtha – hope your readers enjoy it. Peace and luv, Eric
I built a staircase in my garden. Took me longer than 3 days, but then I’m not a professional builder, am I? Looks nice though! 😀
If you’re happy with it – that’s professional enough, I reckon 🙂
This is so very true and sometimes difficult to remember.
…and sometimes even when we remember – it is not easy to follow through…
(P/s – Lisa, your weblog is listed as private – sign in – can’t access)
That is also true. Often I know what I should be doing, but afraid to do it.
Not sure what’s up with accessing my site – I checked my settings and nothing changed…maybe just an temp glitch.
Oh boy did I need to read this today! Thank you.
That was great timing then… 🙂
Have a good week ahead Jacqueline, Eric
Choose your stones and what you do with them…with care. Much love to you my lovely buddy 😀 xx
Wise words buddy. Luv and hugz, Eric 🙂
What a beauty Eric..
life is learning from past and building a present which has doors open for future…
loved it 🙂
Look at you, Soma – such a poetic response 🙂 Thank you dear.
(P/s Please forgive me if I don’t visit/comment on any blogs – I am down ill, need to recuperate and hardly able to reply to comments on my blog. Nothing serious…I’ll live 🙂
Eric reading your work is a pleasure and inspiring ..pls do not worry about comments
Take care ..and get well soon 🙂

What of yesterday may not be completely rubble, they could be bricks to help us build the steps tomorrow. Then again, what is going to happen tomorrow may not be steps but turns out to be rubble – it’s when I complete a day but feeling as if it’s wasted. The bad part is we have to clear the rubble before we can pave the new steps. Sorry I’m sounding a bit despondent – blame it on Monday.
Monday blues again Jasey 🙁
Me thinks you have a roar and a blast over the weekends to feel this way on Mondays – plus perhaps a less than conducive work environment (?)
No need to apologise – this is your take and entitled to it. Hope you feel better and soon.
Let me give you a great big hugz 🙂
Bill Monroe has a song: I’m working on a building. Working on a building. Working on a building for my Lord. For my Lord. It’s a Holy Ghost building. It’s a Holy Ghost building. it’s a Holy Ghost building for my Lord. For my Lord.
Well done Bill Monroe…
And what a tragedy that some are content to leave the rubble of yesterday just as it is and not move on.
The spilled milk syndrome is quite entrenched and gives some an excuse for their condition – when the only real excuse is perhaps staring out the mirror…
Very well said! Eric, as always very inspiring:)
Thank you for your visit and kind comment 🙂
It’s very good of you to remind us of the rubble, often it is easy to remember the bricks and steps but forget the rubble =) Very hopeful message! Take care, Que
Thank you Que.
Rubble is not some chore to be cried over but an opportunity to build something better…
Awesome inspiration here, Eric! Progression is key…
Very true – Look through the windshield and not be fixated on the rear-view mirror…
i really enjoyed this. you have such a way with words
Thank you Terry – you are so kind with your compliments, Eric 🙂
I posted a comment in your post The Challenge…
Yesterday’s disappointments and failures are today’s lessons to learn from, if we choose to be better rather than bitter. Today’s lessons, as well as today’s mistakes can upwardly be used as building blocks towards constructing higher levels of ourselves, towards progression, in the future.
“…better rather than bitter…”
That is a quote worth remembering. Thanks Dee – Peace 🙂
kind of like being tried by fire, and then being stronger and better than ever before. 🙂
These that you are writing now are kind of like Proverbs! Keep them coming Eric. xoxo
…tempered in flames, yes, very true, Jeannie dear.
Iron to steel, brittle to maleable, molten to solids – as we wish > all these and more…
Luv and peace, Eric 🙂
this one is a very good thought!
Thanks for sharing

“If the future of “to do” is “to die”, then the present is “today”.
– From “The Book Of Guff”
Interesting thought…What of yesterday, I wonder what the Book of Gulf says…
“Yesterday is history – tomorrow is a mystery – today is a gift.” – William Aloysius Keane.
fabulous truth, very true, very beautiful and inspiring. thanks eric.
Sharmishtha – thank you and happy you feel so. Peace, Eric
(P/s I found your comment in spam and unspammed it – kinda strange this happened. WP gnomes at it again!)
True that. And people use excuses for themselves… all the time.
That is right Maria.
Some do succumb to looking out the window than into the mirror. How people respond reflects on themselves and their future to come, I reckon.
Peace, Eric
