Craving Routine

As mentioned in “Musing”, Labor Day felt like I was shot out of a cannon where I went from the beach to the bimah (that’s the Jewish version of an altar) in no time. Those Jewish holidays are never on time as we know, and this year they were ridiculously early. Hosting holiday meals, attending holiday meals, going to synagogue, fasting, celebrating a wedding weekend, attending a concert, etc. took me out of my routine. I didn’t publish Bookmark This as planned and that felt awful. I ate poorly. I drank a lot. I had a lot of fun, but it’s time to embrace the fresh start of the new year and get back to the rootedness of daily routine.
