15,000 Days

My name is Robin Viray, and I am 30 years old.

If I were to write a book, I would call it 15,000 Days. We all know that life is short, but sometimes we need to be reminded as to just how short life is. The average American lives to be about 82 years old. 82 years is about 30,000 days. Out of those 30,000 days, we typically spend one-third of the time awake, another third working, and the rest of the time sleeping. If you are 41 and you are reading this, you may only have 15,000 days left… if that. 15,000 days will come and go whether you live your dreams or not. 15,000 days may or may not be given to you. I wonder what would happen if we were only given one more day? If we choose just to be grateful for that one day, I believe that we may be more at peace, knowing that that one extra day would be enough.
