For me it’s the familiar relaxed daily routines that give us immense pleasure. For example, if we can’t have our usual breakfast, we really miss it. Same for afternoon espresso together at 3:00 along with a sweet treat — I add a double-shot of cognac afterwards. The things we always do are not boring to us at all! They give us comfort and pleasure and a feeling of continuation and community.

a routine is good

it brings comfort and pleasure

builds community

and bonds us as family

in a very joyful way

———

breakfast — every day

we’ll eat the very same thing

a cup of yogurt

a banana and coffee

and eggs with toast on Sunday

———

that is really all it takes

to make us really happy

I strive for this in lots of ways, but what is most routine for me is my evening shower. I love the whole process of stepping into a hot shower, feeling the water on my skin, feeling the day wash away. I love all the sensations. I love emerging feeling clean and refreshed. Then putting lotion on my skin and putting on my pajamas. I love how calm and peaceful I feel afterwards. Winding down from the day in my own little ways has always been important to me.
