    I think I've only completed two or three of them - ever.

    In very neurotic and anxious ways, I've so often unconsciously tried to live my entire "life in one day," full of worries.
    I heard Howard Jones song "Life in One Day." 
    He could be singing directly to me.

    I've always like him. and this song has impacted my life in very good ways. Incredibly healthy and helpful lyrics wrapped around kick-as* music.

    So, fortunately, I've never actually lived my entire life in one day. I've gotten much better over the years to live one moment at a time and stay in today without jumping into tomorrow.

    (I almost got to see Howard Jones in person backstage at one of his concerts. I was in line to get in the concert and two security guards escorted me out of the line and had me walk with them. Jones' brother was playing in his band at that time and the security guys thought I was Jones' brother! "You look so much like him, we just assumed." That's why they were escorting me. And Stupid Me -- I told them I was not his brother and they took me back to the line.)

    "Life in One Day"
