Beauty in Routine

As I sat mulling over how the days had crept by so fast.... and how routine life is .....until I have nothing to post in my blog... suddenly God reminded me that there is beauty in routine too.

Lately , I have been really busy at work and going thru the motions of life to the point that I have taken the routine of life for granted. Actually routine is good . We all need routine to keep sane but extreme routine with no excitement and nothing to look forward to can kill life. One can end up merely existing from day to day and forget to live life or even worse ; don't know how to live life.

As I pondered about my routine, I find that I enjoy the usual rounds of spending time with my family in different settings. For instance, I enjoy the morning ride to work. I have the privilege of being driven to and from work by my very own personalised chauffeur. I have a hubby who loves driving so the morning chats are good and the afternoon rides are entertaining as well when the kids take turns to tell us about what transpired at school.

Honestly... routine is not that bad as some make it out to be. Our family routinely make many trips to the supermarkets buying stuff without a care in the world. But of late these trips have been rudely shaken with the melamine scare. The melamine issue has invaded our family routine. Now we have to be careful when we shop. Philip and I are very doubtful of any products with the “Made in China” label. We steer clear of them. When we first married , Philip was keen to visit China, but in recent years his interest has faded. Now he tells me he rather go to other nations . That's very fine with me.


Our routine has also been shaken with the HFMD alert. Now our kids go out less. Its really a shame coz we like to go out as a family.

So be grateful for routines when nothing seems to be happening. It can be a good thing!!!!

Infact if we are totally honest with ourselves, we can add colours to our routines by putting into our routines the things we like to do. So as we maintain, add and minus events in our lives, we are routinely enhancing our lives .

So make the most of your routine. Go find the beauty in your own routine and be blessed.
