It has been a terrible, wonderful, snowy, cold and windy day. Jonathon couldn't go to school and Dennis couldn't go to work. Jon has snow days fairly often but Dennis missing work is something that almost never happens. In fact this is the first time in the more than two years that I have been here that it has happened. So the rhythm of life for today was slightly altered. Although the weather can be and is a terrible inconvenience it was a little exciting also. I didn't go outside at all today. As I have mentioned in earlier posts I try to get out at least once a day even if it is a just a 7 minute drive into town. I am more aware of the rhythm of my life here. I have morning rituals and I have even more distinct bedtime rituals here. My work gave my life structure for so many, many years and I missed it terribly when it was taken from me. Now I have to admit that I would really miss the rhythm of this household, this family. I was tempted to go to bed tonight without posting in my blog, however, I am making that part of the ritual of my bedtime. I think that we all have rituals that are important in maintaining the ebb and flow of our lives, possibly we arn't aware of them until they are interrupted. And I think that they are a good and healthy part of our lives. It is strange when I sit here at the end of the day I don't usually have a clue about what I am going to say/write and yet after saying/writing it there is usually a kind of peace that comes over me, therefore it must be a good thing.
I guess enough of a good thing for now. It is tomorrow, has been for almost a half hour.
