bless your soul...

before beginning to type this post i want you to know something specific about me. something you would learn within days of meeting me. something that you might like. something that you might hate. something that might get on your nerves after knowing me for awhile.
i am a planner.

i like things to be laid out in front of me. i like routine. i like rituals. i have many rituals i go through each day. my night ritual is one of my favorites. i have started drinking chamomile tea before bed. and i must say, it is delightful. then i journal. i start by writing something i was grateful for that day. then i write whatever i am feeling or thinking about. and i end with a goal... either for the day, week, month, etc. then i read until i get tired enough to fall asleep, which thankfully isn't ever too long.

i love my nightly ritual. i keeps me calm even after the most dramatic day.

what is yours?

best,

that's wonderful! My ritual is my bath's at night....it is the place that I love to relax, reflect and do my best thinking...I am not a big planner at all, quite the opposite but I admire and respect your rituals...!

great question. I wish I had a personal routine I went through daily, especially routines that you make for yourself Mar! Great inspiration.
