Why not today, why not now?

“Why not today? Why not now? (St. Augustine)

I just looked at my to do list and realized that I had not called my mom in a few weeks. So rather than wait for tomorrow, I called her immediately and she was so happy. I get so many inspirations to do good things during the day, but the devil jumps in and tries to justify why it could wait or he simply tries to make me waste my time. Our life is so short, spend it doing good, and see daily prayer and the Sacraments as absolutely necessary to keep up the enthusiasm and the drive each and every day, each and every moment.
