Awhile back I made a couple of calculations and realized I could see how many days I've lived. Today is day 8,434 for me. If you think about your life in days it makes you feel both young and old. I'm over 8,000 days old, the earth has rotated that many times. I've gone around the sun 23 times. My heart has beat well over 850,000,000 times in the course of my life so far, and I hope it has about 2,550,000,000 beats left, because I plan on living into my 90's. I think it would be amazing to see the year 2073. All the crap that has changed in the course of 100 years on this planet will probably still keep on changing while I'm growing old. When I see my 34,000th day on this earth I hope I'll look back and realize that the moon hasn't rotated around my home planet that many times in vain. I hope that God blesses the days of my life so that when I look back on my 710,629,230 breaths of air (assuming 900 breaths an hour) I'll think "I've done what I was meant to do here."
