It’s been a whirlwind of a month and I have been busy every day with things I don’t usually do.
Today is the day after Labor Day. A fitting time to get a routine started. I loved my life in California, I miss all my family and friends terribly. I also miss the rhythm of my days there. I miss my house. I miss having a place for everything and knowing what’s next. I miss my old routine!
I guess I will have to create a new one. It will include yoga and walking and work that I love. There will be art, new friends, and a new home. Some of these things I will need to be patient for, but some I can start today.
I remember my mother creating new routines after all of our moves growing up. We made some big ones as a family but my mother would establish order quickly and with efficiency. Supper would be made in make shift kitchens as she found what she needed while unpacking boxes. School lunches were made and we were off to school, returning to a more put together home. My mother loved routine and confidently worked to establish it. She taught me to bathe my babies at the same time every day because babies respond well to routine. She told me that bath time was the biggest happening in an infant’s day in the beginning so they would organize themselves around it. I’m pretty sure I did as well.
I hope to follow her example and find all of what I need to get myself on a schedule of sorts. I will be designing and curating the best life I can, one daily activity at a time.
