As much as I love to travel and explore and experience new things, I have to admit that I thrive on routine. I like to know what’s coming next. I enjoy just going through the motions without having to think or plan. There’s a reason it’s called a comfort zone. It’s quite comfortable indeed.
I’m currently in a unique position where I don’t have any routine established. It doesn’t help that my work schedule is so varied and insane right now that it would be hard to create one. But when I get the chance I will be making a routine from scratch. What an opportunity!
I have already decided that whenever the weather is nice I’ll spend as much time as possible outdoors, because nice weather is rather rare in this neck of the woods, so I should enjoy it while I can. On those days when I get off work in the early afternoon I have been eating my dinner in the back yard while watching the dogs play. More of that, please.
And I’m trying to eat healthier, and now that I have a tub I plan to take long baths regularly. I sort of look at these things as gifts that I give to myself. I’ve earned that much.
I got myself a hummingbird feeder in the hopes that they would establish a routine as well, but the little guys have yet to discover it. New routines apparently take time to take hold, even in nature. But they sure do feel good when they’re in place.
