Some habits can be so comforting. I love curling up in the same rocking chair in the morning with a cup of tea to read my Bible. The sameness and repetition gives me a sense of great pleasure.

Such an interesting study in habits from these two simple stories.

I am absolutely a creature of habit and the older I get the less inclined I am to change. They’ve worked at least somewhat well for me so far #happynow

My husband and I were just talking about this subject this morning. We know we both have habits that we do because we have always done them that way, even though there are probably easier ways. Our grown daughter and granddaughter frequently suggest things. Sometimes we do make changes but sometimes the old way is well … comfortable. LOL

That sounds like me all weekend– trying to finish up all the book I’m in the middle of when they’re all due back within the next week! I hate returning them after their due date even if we no longer have fines.

I think there is a comfort to hold habits. Last month my hairdresser parted my hair on the other side and challenged me to try it. will give my hair more body she said. Well that lasted only a couple of day. Drove me crazy!! Yep , returned to my comfortable side to part my hair. Makes me smile to think about this….

As for me, one habit I have that I’ve stuck with is writing in a physical journal. I know there are plenty of digital options out there, but there’s just something about the process of putting pen to paper that I find really satisfying. Plus, it’s a nice break from staring at screens all day.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and prompting us to reflect on our own habits.

Lisa, this post made me smile because now that my college daughter is home, I’m finding I’m a little more set in my ways than I thought. She lived in a house this past year and now wants to do things around our house her way, but I want to do them the way I’ve always done them. It’s my house, right? Except, do I really need to be so stubborn? No, not really!

That’s my biggest problem with new technology. I know they are always updating and there are always new features to be added. But I hate when it seems like they moved something just to be different. Like a button on one side is now on the other side, and my finger keeps wanting to tap the “old” side. I tell myself it’s good for my brain to do things differently sometimes.

But there are other things that are fine, even comfortable and efficient, to keep doing as have always been done.

I love this saying, Lisa: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
That makes lots of sense to me.
Blessings!
