Thanks Kate! Made me think about routine and rituals in general. Personally, I enjoy routines and daily, weekly or time based traditions. Not sure when that liking started but guessing it's just the way I am, my personality. My brain and way of thinking is just wired that way. Wake up around the same time every morning, morning routines (coffee, breakfast) and then whatever chores or to do things that day. Dinner around the same time and bed at a certain time. When the routine gets messed up for some reason, I get a little nervous. With all the uncertainties and craziness in the world these days, I think the controllable routines bring a small amount of comfort and peace. A brief moment of time where I'm in control.

The other comment I'd like to mention is that good writing stands the test of time. Went back and re-read your Why I Write and enjoyed it again. Thank you !!
