Just Another Day

It's just another day. You know the kind I mean. You move as if on automatic pilot: responding to urgencies, one after the next, driven to react, and react, and react, to whatever, or whoever, is yelling for attention. After a while, one day pretty much looks like the last ten, and life moves on through its petty pace from day to day.
After a year or two of urgency, you find yourself burnt out, stressed, getting sick, or simply losing interest and motivation.
