The Routines In Our Lives...
While in the midst of my morning routine, I came to a realization that I have been performing each task at exactly the same time every morning. It has been this way for sometime now.
Every morning, the alarm clock will ring the same number of times before I arise from my bed. After a drowsy journey to my bathroom, the hot shower begins to awaken me to meet the new day. Soon after, its dressing and heading for breakfast. It amazes me that I constantly keep the same timing for my entire morning routine. Sometimes, when I happen to sleep in a few extra moments, my body automatically compensates for lack of time and again I find myself getting ready at the same time.
Personally, I think having a routine does reassure me that I have some semblance of control in my life. I know what time I'll wake up, what time I'll be ready, what time I'll head out of the house, what time I'll reach work, etc. Having that knowledge gives me some measure of peace, its as good as being able to foresee what's going to happen.
Nevertheless, no matter what steady reassurance that my routines allow me, I always look forward to a change in routine. Typically it would be a holiday or another unexpected adventure that deviates me from repetition. What can I say, human beings are so complicated. =)
