"There are no birds in last year's nest..."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote the phrase "there are no birds in last year's nest". Every spring, the birds build a new "home". They never return to last year's nest, and so it should be with us. Past sorrows, regrets, and hardships should be left behind as we move on to new opportunities that await us. It does us no good to dwell on the past, but we should concentrate on the future by building a new nest and looking forward to a brighter future.
