forgetfulness

My, oh my how easy it is to forget that my life extends beyond just today. It is so easy to go to work, come home, goof around, eat dinner, watch TV, and go to bed after reading a bit. In doing so, I forget that life has purpose, that my life has purpose. I forget my long range goals, to move to the other end of the world, to make my life count in the light of eternity. Not that my life doesn't have purpose where I am here, but substitute teaching is not the entire purpose of my life.
