Routine

Rhythm - it's amazing how much it helps calm and settle me; it is the essence of the routines I've created for myself. These routines are a huge part of the life-giving force that help keep me focused, centered, and on track each day and week. They remind me to be intentional, to make time for the most important things, and to have balance in life.

Some of the routines in my life right now are:

*going to church on Sunday nights with Lindsey and then going to Starbucks afterward to discuss the sermon and mentally prepare for the next week

*consistent morning times of yoga and stretches, "thinking time" while I shower, time with God and then usually a bit of time to knit or catch up on a project before breakfast

*Friday mornings free from school work or teaching to do something fun - a trip to the yarn store, visiting a friend etc.

What are some of your routines?

hmmm routines... oh i like routines, definitely sunday night ;) and laying in my room after 10:30 with my laptop and dog, studying in the morning/afternoon time, reading and knitting in small incriments throughout the day, i love routines but i have to admit breaking them occasionally can be a lot of fun too :) i often don't notice they are there until they are gone, then i miss them terribly
