Today is ElinorD's day! 

Friend, don't be sad as you read this, Whatever your trouble or grief, I want you to know and to heed this: The day draweth near with relief.

No sorrow, no woe is unending, Though heaven seems voiceless and dumb; So sure as your cry is ascending, So surely an answer will come.

Whatever temptation is near you, Whose eyes on this simple verse fall; Remember good angels will hear you And help you to stand, if you call.

Though stunned with despair I beseech you, Whatever your losses, your need, Believe, when these written words reach you, Believe you were born to succeed.

You are stronger, I tell you, this minute, Than any unfortunate fate! And the coveted prize - you can win it; While life lasts 'tis never too late!

Emily Dickinson

Happy Day, Elinor!
