When Was the Last Time We Checked Our Batteries?

Batteries have become a mainstay of everyday life. We need them for so many things that we do.

Just think of the many things that have batteries - either rechargeable or not. Of course, there's our car - also the cell phone and the notebook computer.

There's the digital camera, the voice recorder, the alarm clock (backup), smoke detectors, watches, toys, tollway pass, garage door openers, flashlights, and so much more.

Sometimes we have a little warning or think to check on the battery level so that we're prepared to change them or recharge them when they get low - but not always. Ever have the cell phone go dead in the middle of a call? Ever miss an important picture because the camera wouldn't work?

So the obvious jump from this concern over the batteries that power so many of our necessities and conveniences is to look at our own batteries. Are we running dangerously close to depletion? When was the last time we took a quiet walk or just sat and did nothing? Maybe a time at the beach or skiing? Hiking, biking, jogging, reading - anything to relax and let go?

We have to recharge our batteries to remain at full power and peak efficiency.
