Another Day

"Another day, another foot in the grave."

My dad said this to me just now. I asked him "dad, how many feet do you have?"

People shouldn't look at life this way. Another day should mean another opportunity to fulfill your dreams, whatever those may be. For me it's following my to-do list. Sometimes it takes me days or even weeks to carry out my to-do list. In fact, I need to keep a constant reminder for myself on my phone of all the things I need to do. Here's what's on the desktop of my phone right now.

-Student Loan
-Clean Room
-Clean Car

The student loan part has been on there for weeks now. The last two are the latest additions. Why is it we need to keep everything clean all the time? It's as if we were maintaining a show room all the time. When clutter and dust begin to build up it makes us feel bad. We find ourselves cleaning a lot more than we thought we ought to be and the cycle is always beginning anew.
