Routines Make Us Feel Good
They Are Relaxing And Rewarding
From the time I begin my day
To the time it ends
I have many little routines that give me much satisfaction
I make our bed
It is still fun throwing the different pillows on top
I wash the dishes in our home
It brings me back when I was young
My father would wash the dishes and my brother and I would help dry
Some routines have never changed
Brushing my teeth after every meal and just before bed
Taking daily vitamins to help us stay healthy
Trying to exercise a little bit to stay in shape
No matter what it is
When our small barrels in the house fill up during the week I bring it to a bigger barrel outside
When it comes trash day
I bring the trash to the dump
I fill up our car with gas at the gas station
For me it always was a thrill
I leave for work about the same time
Driving in the afternoon and late night home again
I try to go on the laptop a little while every day
In my spare time I write about all the little fun things that make up life
My wife has her own routines
She does most of the cooking
She enjoys her different T.V. programs and shows
She talks to most members of our family more than me
She gives me an update who is doing what and when
Recently I do most of the driving
Before my wife drove everywhere
We both do food shopping on Tuesdays
It use to be on Wednesdays
Our days off our Wednesday and Thursday
We relax and take walks
Sometimes we pick a place to go out to eat
Then we watch a couple of T.V. programs we both like
There are more routines I am sure we all have
I will have to take a closer look
They make us feel safe
Give us comfort and joy
An imaginary security blanket
Are there any routines that make up part of your day?
Do they give you great pleasure ?
Please share and have a nice afternoon
