Routine...

It's amazing how comfortable we can get with a routine.

Work out, talk to Bear, work, eat dinner, talk to Bear, go to sleep and do it all over again. Sometimes not in that order, but you get the idea.

A couple days ago Bear went to Denmark to visit his sister, brother in law, and nephew. I couldn't be more excited and happy for him, but I've noticed that the parts of my day that were dedicated to him...whelp I'm left wondering what to do with all of that time.

And it hit me. In just 5 months, I've become so use to having Bear in my life, that I've forgotten what it's like to not have him around. Even though he lives in Washington, we are still easily able to Face Time, text, and call each other.

Now that he is in Denmark, it isn't that easy. And I can't believe that I've already become so accustomed to having him in my life, that my days right now are filled with big gaps.


Although my ideal day includes Bear, I am looking forward to having more time to read...time to have lunch/dinner with friends...and possibly get in a nap or two.

When Bear first left for Denmark, I wasn't sure how I would deal with a change in my routine, but now I'm looking forward to it. I have a feeling it will be good for my mind, body, and soul.
