Here's the strange thing. Just last week I was going on about how nothing seemed like it could be worth my time due to the limited nature of the duration of life. This simple fact is pretty well a universal truth, but I don't think most people really confront that issue on a daily basis. It is more of a question of weekend reflection or semi-annual career examination.
Today I feel worlds apart from how I did just last Thursday. While the truth of the matter hasn't changed, I simply don't care. I'm back to general operation mode where I'm living for the moment and not spending all of my time in the past or present. This is a great place to be. It's the normal place people exist that keeps them sane enough to operate effectively in society.
There is a punch line to this joke, however. If past experience has taught me anything, this moment of clarity will pass and I'll be back to one of my two extremes:
1) Not letting go of the past
2) Trying desperately to figure out the future
Oh well. That doesn't much matter at the moment. More important things are aloof...things such as Applebee's on Thursday. =) Yum.
