Tuesday SOL - July 24, 2012 - Is it a routine or am I in a Rut?

Each day is pretty much the same:

    I get up at 5:00
          Turn on the computer and check my e-mails
                   Play my words in my games of Scrabble & Words With Friends
                           Read my devotions and Bible
                                   Meditate and Pray
    By 6:00, I am exercising
           By 6:30, I have my cup of coffee and read the paper, work the crossword and Jumble
                   Have breakfast
                           Take Max for a walk
                                   And then my day begins in earnest

Hubby says that I'm "set in my ways".  I like to think of it as "my routine".  And, I'm sure others would say that I'm "in a rut".  
  
Whatever it's called, I like what I do, when I do it and that's all that really matters!

    I vote for routine not rut. If it makes you happy, keep it up!

    Hey, if it works for you, stick with it! And look at everything you get accomplished in the first 2 hours of the day! I'm impressed!

    I like routines - especially because it gives you a positive start to the day.

    As long as you are happy with your routines, that's all that matters.

    You said it! I have my routine. If it changes sometimes I can get a little thrown off. When I worked downtown, I had my same parking spot and spot on the train day in and day out. I thought it was an adventure when I switched it up. Others thought I was crazy. Oh well! It worked for me :)

    I wrote about this very same thing last year and someone commented that it was more likely a "ritual" not a routine or a rut. Rituals help us make sense of life so it's a good thing.

    routines and consistency are the stuff that makes the world go 'round. You are productive and happy - what could be better? Good for you.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
