STORY OF THE DAY: Wednesday

Odometer of Life

                             Life is a highway some say. That's a good way to look at it. I imagine
                             myself as traveling on the road of life at about 60 miles per hour. That's
                             1 mile for every minute. I have lived for roughly 12.5 million minutes
                             which, in this imagination, means my life's odometer would read 12,500,000
                             miles, and I am still in good shape - not bad. But now I wonder how I
                             spent those minutes - those miles.

                             I wonder how many of those miles I spent watching the road, or how many I
                             spent looking out the window.

                             I wonder how many of those miles I spent looking in my mirror and not
                             paying attention to how fast I was going.

                             I wonder how many of those miles I drove in circles, and how many times I
                             must have ignored the road signs. - They're there, we just need to pay
                             attention.

                             I wonder how many of those miles I couldn't steer because I was drunk, and
                             how many accidents I may have caused.

                             I wonder how many of those miles I spent feeling sorry for myself, or how
                             many I spent singing my favorite songs on the radio.

                             I wonder how many of those miles I drove for me, and how many I drove for
                             someone I care about.

                             I wonder how many of those miles I passed someone on the side of the road
                             and didn't stop to help.

                             I wonder how many of those miles I wore my seatbelt, and how many I drove
                             with no hands.

                             I wonder how many of those miles I spent alone, and how many I spent
                             laughing with friends and family along for the ride in the passenger seats.

                             ...I wonder how many miles I will drive before I know where I'm going..."
