As I am about to go through so many changes, I have begun to appreciate the value of rituals. There is something so comforting about having a part of your day that stays the same. When everything else is changing around you, being able to rely on that morning cup of coffee or that afternoon run really makes a difference. My mom and I have many rituals. For one thing, eating a salad and watching BBC mysteries at lunch time... another is our morning ritual which has developed over the many years of our quiet companionship. We are usually up around 7:30, drinking our morning coffee in our comfy chairs. We read the news paper and we sit quietly. It might not seem like much, but thats the whole point. It's a peaceful start to the day that I can always count on. I look forward to developing my own rituals when I move away. Maybe it will be running in the morning, or Mass on Sundays, or just sitting on the porch when I wake up. Looking around, I see that everyone seems to have their own rituals. Sometimes they may not alway appreciate them, but at the same time, life wouldn't be the same without them. Whether it's a family trip to the Flea Market every Sunday or just sitting down to dinner every night, there is something special about those traditions. One day maybe you will look back and remember those times you spent with family and miss it all, so appreciate it now:) I know that everyone is different, but personally I enjoy a mix of new excitement, and familiar comfort in my life. In order to truly enjoy the exciting changes that come may way, I feel like I need that one cup of coffee to remind me that the whole world isn't shifting just because mine feels like it is.
