Really think about how you spend the minutes of each day.


I read in a book somewhere that for one day, you should mark down every minute of the day as it passes.  I suppose it supposed to be eye-opening.  To me, it sounds incredibly tedious.  However, the sentiment makes sense.  It is almost scary to think what a large portion of your life you spend doing simple things like brushing your teeth or making your bed.  Really appreciate the moments today.


"Well, yes, ma'am, I do... I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count."
