Celebrate Impermanence - Week 11: Rituals

Rituals have a way of grounding me. I start the day with a big glass of water and a squeeze of lemon. Cool in the hot months and warm in the winter. Breakfast comes later as I'm a very early riser. I like the sound of the filter coffee machine as it prepares my morning breakfast drink, served in my favourite mug!

 

After breakfast, I love the ritual of making my bed and marvel at the play of light and shadows shining through the slits in the blinds. I love to smooth the sheets and cotton blanket and see the dappled sunlight illuminate my polka-dot cover.

 

Making homemade bread used to be a twice weekly ritual, it helped me through difficult times as it brought a sense of normality and reassuring repetition to my life. These days, I bake bread when I'm in the mood!
