Another side of One Day at a Time

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. ~ Annie Dillard

Your mind tricks you into believing tomorrow is a reality, thereby giving you permission to waste today.

I spent yesterday reading a light novel -- nothing great, just an enjoyable read.  Now, there was nothing wrong with that.  In fact, I was more comfortably 'in the moment' than I had been for several days.  Relaxation is good, but, being an alcoholic, I nonetheless felt a bit guilty.  That got me thinking about relaxation vs. wasting time (aka sloth).  I don't really know any rules for telling the difference, but like the classic rule on pornography, I know it when I see it.  The fact is that, while yesterday was a very good day, I do waste - kill - too much time and that is something I have to pay attention to.

This is a side of living 'one day at a time' that I too often forget.  I am responsible for how I live every day and killing time is a felony.
