Wishing Away Time

I know this in not the first time anyone has ever said this... but, hey, it is on my mind

Why do we wish away time so much?

Seriously, i must wish away more that half my life... maybe even more like 75% of it, or 90% of it. Every week I start off saying, "Monday... only four more days until the weekend."

Each days is just one more day closer to... what? besides the weekend, what does it really bring me. I just waste so much time wishing for something else to come. Why not enjoy that day?

Or think about all the countdowns... til classes end... until that vacation you've been planning... until you see someone.

Why not just enjoy the present? So today is just another blah day? Why not see it as another gift? Another day to serve Christ? Why not make sure you do one thing (if not more...) of true worth everyday.

Ok, so what is true worth? How about defining it as making you feel like you day is complete, if you will. Making a day worthy of countdown. Serve someone... make someones day... do something you consider FUN everyday!

I am going to try to stop wishing away everyday... I will still countdown to fun things... such as 48 more days until I go to Florida... or four more weeks until Family Portriat Day... or 2 more weeks until Joy Prom. But today should be no less of a day!

Today I am going home. I get to see my dog and cats at home... not to mention my mom and dad. Yea! I get to spend time feeling loved by my family... it is a day worth living and enjoying (as every day should be, just so you know!)
