Why not live in the now?

Wow, so much has happened that it is difficult to know where to start. The semester is winding down so I am starting to get into the crunch mode. The one thing that I have really noticed lately is how much I have been focused on the future and forgeting about right now. The present is here and I have been walking through it blindly. Life is to be lived and not planned to a t, but it is so hard to get out of that groove of life. One of my new goals is to quit worring so much about things that happened in the past and not to map out the future. I just want to be in the now and grab every moment. So much of what I see in today's world makes me really think, shouldn't that be the other way around? I am not really looking for an answer, I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So, goodnight dear void.
