Day Seventeen

Back in the saddle.

Beginnings - Restarts. I like Mondays because they're the opportunity to pick up that new habit, get back in the routine I need so desperately. The days following the Feast Day of Christmas were, not necessarily chaotic, not what I planned. But that was the problem - the were days unplanned. The only ordinariness to the days was the oatmeal every morning. I neglected the routine of Bible study, prayer, exercise and measuring what I ate before eating.

Now it's Monday. The chalkboard has been wiped clean. It's a new day, a new week and I'm back into the proactive planning of my day.
