Routine


The Holiday Season, as it affects us, is over now. We go back to our regular routine in the morning. And it's going to be a busy week. We'll be playing bridge on Monday, and the Studio 2 classes will start up again on Tuesday. Wal-Mart and laundry also rear their ugly heads.

The word, Routine, has become to mean dull, or ordinary, or run-of-the-mill, or, well, routine. But after a time of upheaval, or great change, or being out of one's element, getting back into one's routine is very comforting. I think having the framework of a routine is what allows us to be free and easy and, from time to time, to get out of our ruts. We're comfortable doing the wild and crazy things because we know that the comfortable framework of Routine is there to welcome us and to allow us to rest.

So, let's not badmouth our good ol' routines too much, and remember that one man's routine is another man's excitement.

Today's photo is of some folks going about their routines in Glasgow, Scotland - while we're doing something definite NOT in our routine.
