365QOD- Day6

"... number your days...." a line in Joel Osteen's sermon on September 12, 2010

I was on vacation in Florida on September 12.  I heard his sermon and spend the rest of the day thinking about what this meant to me.  I quickly realized that most days were not distinguishble after a while.

Most people start the day by eating the same foods everyday.  They use the same route to work. The rest of the day follows the same pattern... much of the same.  So how do you expect different results if you do the same thing over and over?    The key is to make each day memorable.

One way I came up with is to number my days.  What days?  The number of the days remaining in my life.  Since I plan to live to at least 101 , I used the formula:

                                         Number of Days= (101-MyCurrentAge)*365 

For me this number came out to be around 21000(rounding it up).  September 12,2010 became day1 or as a wrote it 1/21000.  Since that day I have continued to increase the number on the left side.  Today is day 148/21000.  I write this number on my daily planner every day.  I will one day buy a vase and in it put marbles to represent my days.  I plan to take out a marble a day and if someone makes my day memorable give the marble to them or at the end of the day throw the marble away to signify the loss of that day.

Today's question is:
                              "What is your number of days?"
