tweaking rituals

we all have daily rituals. those little things we do every day - from either necessity or just choice - that weave in and out creating the pattern of our days. as i get older, i enjoy my rituals more and more. and it's what i miss when i'm away. i also find i pay more attention to them and work at getting them "just right". my nightly bath and read now involves a small heater in the bathroom so that i don't get out of the warmth of the bath to face a frigid room. another ritual keith and i share is having a small bowl of yoghurt (with a dollup of fruit or jam) in the evening. we never had the right size bowls and often ended up eating more than we wanted because the bowls were too big. while in toronto i bought these sweet little bowls at anthropologie (a store that i discovered in nyc and that nows has a couple of outlets in toronto). every evening, while i spoon yoghurt into them, i marvel at their beauty. this ritual is now just right...
