I’m thinking about how useful patterns are. You can call them rituals, habits, even ruts. This came to mind as I was going into the house from sitting on the porch in the early morning. One of the first things I do when I go through the door it’s turn around and lock it. It started as a conscious choice, now it is a pattern.
When I wake up, I say, “Good morning, Lord.”Think about patterns that are instilled in you as a child. Your parents kept hammering away until certain things were driven out of your system.
When I sit down with my coffee, I look at the sky and remind myself of the Creator.
When I go out the door, I reflexively pat my left pocket to see if there are keys there.
If I use the restroom, I reflexively put down the lid.
After using the restroom, I reflexively wash my hands.
Breakfast is a routine so I don’t forget my medication
Stop picking your nose.Some patterns are almost universal, or should be. Others may be unique to me.
Get your elbows off the table.
What is the magic word?
