Life and Time

So tomorrow I go for a check up with my surgeon and to get more fill put in I am excited but a bit worried. I haven't been able to exercise like I was there just really isn't a good spot to walk where I live right now and walking at the high school is out because of my schedule I am not able to do anything on Monday and Thursday nights till after 9 and on Tuesdays till after 10 or 11, Friday nights are often taken up with dances and that just leaves Wednesdays which just isn't enough to do the kind of walking I want to do. I really need to find an exercise DVD I like and start doing it so I get in more of a workout everyday and not just the half hour walk with my puppy. It is just a matter of finding one which is a matter of taking the time to go rent some and try them out. It is all a matter of time the one thing we can't get more of and yet the one thing we seem to squander in useless pursuits or in the pursuit of things that aren't worthy of who we are, aren't worthy of our divine heritage as children of our Heavenly Father. Why do we squander time? For me personally it isn't that I set about most of the time to squander time I just let some of the not so important things crowd out the important ones. I surf the web or the television for something of interest when instead I could be doing one of a million things that need doing like reading my Sunday school lesson or visiting teaching or doing my homework from my tax class or exercising or, or, or...Of course not all television is bad and not all web surfing is squandering time and sometimes a little vegging can be good for the soul but the key is balance. As we don't find or make time we use it and how do we use it? do we make the most of it or do we squander it? I hope to do better at making the most of my time and by doing so make the most of my life.
