PROMPT January 10th What are some of the routines you follow in your daily life? Do you typically stick to your routine, or do you prefer more spontaneity? One Day At A Time One day at a time is my daily routine, with spontaneous insomnia sandwiched between. A couple of hours sleep before midnight arrives, check my smartphone, say the midnight prayer, and go back to sleep. Doze for an hour or so, check my smartphone-- its around three something a.m.-- I take my thyroid medication, contemplate the arthritis pain in my knees, listen for odd noises in my apartment or in the neighborhood, and go back to sleep. I am living my life one day at a time, through through routine minutes and spontaneous hours. I read, I write, I review, I meditate, I pray, I do a survey or two, and I Google physical symptoms or just research online-- not necessarily in that order. |
