There is an old expression, "Live one day at a time", that goes back several decades and I was thinking about how it came about today.  First it reminded me about how times have changed and we tend to go through our days with lightning speed.  We are caught up in work, traffic, parenting and other responsibilities all stuffed vigorously into a day.  You may wonder at night when your head hits your pillow, how you got through this day and will you have enough energy in the morning to do this all over again?  Interestingly we have all of these electronic devices that monitor and deliver updates of information around the clock.  They are supposed to save time and add convenience to our lives, yet, a lot of the times they do not.  We are reminded on social networking sites when someone liked something we said or changed their status so that we are constantly updating our own personal data banks.  At some point, I would think that we would have some form of information overload, that would manifest itself in us not resting properly or in some other fashion.  I believe we have to remind ourselves to filter information as not all of it may be of value.  There are only so many hours available to us and time goes by a lot quicker than we realize.  Finally, let us not forget to take a cue from the meaningful statement that reminds us to live in the moment and don't take time for granted.
