The Earth travels around the Sun in 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes and 9.54 seconds. This is one year. This one year trip that the Earth takes around the Sun once is 595 million miles long. The Earth spins around on its axis at the same time as it travels around the Sun. An axis is an imaginary line that connects the North and South Poles. It takes 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds for the Earth to spin around once. This is one Earth day.
As of last Saturday, April 14th, at midnight we here on the Earth have traveled 105 days so far this year and gone 168,001,507 miles around the Sun.
A friend who is a scientist makes note of our progress during the year and gives us updates from time to time. Lots of scientist here in New Mexico.
Guess were all on the same trip together so we might as well enjoy it.
On the other hand, what to do? Find a good cause.
Maybe a good poem to consider as we take our trip would be useful. One about road and paths but not around the Sun.
The road to wisdom? –

Well, it's plain and simple to express:
Err and err
and err again
but less
and less
and less.
