Life gets busy. There is so much to think about on a daily, hourly and every minute basis. Of course, the short-term is important and the questions that go along with it are at the forefront. "Will Alabama continue this performance?", "What is there to eat in this place?", "Is it pathetic to just be sitting here on a Saturday night?", "Does it really matter?" This is the kind of stuff that will work itself out between this moment and whenever today ends.

Is it healthy to think far beyond today on a daily basis? A day lasts a long time and there are many opportunities to wonder where you'll spend the rest of your life, who you'll spend it with and how well it'll all play out. There surely comes a point where something important can be thought about too much, but it's hard to let yourself not think about preparing, planning and developing contingencies.

All this thought starts to drive you crazy, but again, it feels like the right thing to do. Nobody wants to lay their head down at night and know they could have done more. If there wasn't an opportunity to physically improve their life, it's good to know that the thought was there, maybe? After all, it's the thought that counts.
