A Free-Spirited Routine

I fancied myself growing up a free spirit kind of crazy unpredictable…you know what I mean but as I’ve grown a little older I find…I like a good routine. A routine that is predictable and filled with my favorite things… Like waking up early and taking a walk as the birds begin to sing. A routine that is relaxed kind of cozy, comfortable and stable... like eating my favorite breakfast in my favorite spot…next to Deborah at our table. I have my favorite old TV shows I love to watch when they repeat Like Leave it to Beaver Andy Griffith and that one with Della Street I have my favorite foods I always smile when I greet them I even have my favorite utensils and my favorite way to eat them. Wait! I don’t want you to get the wrong impression I’m still ready to start something new a new challenge a new dare It’s just now I usually consider my options from the comfort of my favorite chair… Where I contemplate how my free-spiritedness (after all…I’m not a philistine!) can fit in between my dinner at 6:00… and my bedtime—9:15
