i find comfort in the order of my surroundings:
bed made
dishes washed
laundry folded
clutter removed
floor cleaned
(e)mail sorted
calls returned
meal planned
chores done
list checked
i find comfort in the order of my spirit:
read Bible
say prayer
eat well
move body
see beauty
play music
go outdoors
call friend
laugh aloud
write poem
a steadying cycle to be repeated tomorrow.

little difference
day in and day out
sanity remains

Yes…thanks, Janice 🙂

I’m right there with you: I love reliable routines!

I think the order has a lot in common with routine and lists.

I admire your ability to create order in your life. I make the lists, but then I always get distracted. I do have a nice pile of lists though. (K)

I wish I could say I accomplish these on a consistent daily basis…but any semblance of order can be comforting 🙂
Apr 15, 2020 @ 14:15:06
Yes, similar to my routine now.

your list is just the kind of order that makes the days hold together – both in surroundings and spirit!
Apr 15, 2020 @ 06:34:01
Personal order is a blessing, especially in uncertain times 🙂
Apr 15, 2020 @ 04:23:53
Good – I’m a bit more random!
Apr 15, 2020 @ 06:34:37
I don’t necessarily stick to this daily 😉
Apr 14, 2020 @ 22:43:08
I like that orderly routine.

I like your ordered lists, Lynn. Sounds so relaxing and reliable, a grounding needed now more than ever.
