I've had friends that 'live for the day'. They were fun to spend a day with. But their lives were chaotic car crashes as they stumbled from one crisis to the next due to a lack of any plan or forethought. So I think there has to be a happy medium.

I agree throwing any and all future planning out the window is folly. What I was getting at is that if I was 50:50 or even 40:60 now:tomorrow in how I carried my daily life before, it is now reshifted to 80:20 now:tomorrow.
Essentially I am placing far greater weight on today than tomorrow, because mom demonstrated to me that time is fleeting and I can't have enough of it.
