I just have to remind myself that routine is to help me do the things I would already have to do, not make me feel like I have to do a bunch of stuff that isn't important. I just have to mix it up sometimes, like just read a verse in the Bible & look it up in different versions, instead of just sitting there and reading where I left off the day before. Or I'll make school time be more about games or playing then getting the workbooks out. My excercise might consist of pulling the kids in the wagon & jumping on the trampoline instead of going to the gym that day. I also give myself grace @ making my bed, picking up things & folding laundry - yes it needs to be done, but it can wait. If I always did those daily things I might not have time to make a batch of muffins, or redecorate my living room, etc. I think there needs to be a balance because if I never kept up with routine things my life would fall apart, but if I always stick to routine I think my sanity would fall apart - & that wouldn't be pretty ;> .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-26907140047539473602007-08-30T08:33:00.000-05:002007-08-30T08:33:00.000-05:00I just loved this.....so true.I just loved this.....so true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
