When we look at our life as a compilation of life situations and habits that we form on the way, what seems to stand out is our ability to understand, analyze and take action. These actions, over time, formalize into habits. The dictionary defines habits as an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary. I am curious by nature, curious in a good way. I am always ready to ask questions when in doubt because I’m not particularly eager to jump to conclusions. It’s best to ask than to sit there and analyze. I like to learn new things. I also have the habit of checking in regularly with my people. Inculcating the habit of gratefulness has immensely helped me. I find meaning in staying inspired as well as in inspiring others. I know I do need to give up on some of my habits! What habits have served you well? What new habits are you looking to develop in the coming time? Do you think this statement is valid? Does it resonate with you? So far, what practices have helped you the most?

While trying to figure out today’s wordle, I also started doodling in my tiny journal. The paper is not so great for watercolor but nonetheless I went on with it. It takes a while to get used to waiting for something to set, no? Well, the wordle word for the day spells it all out! It takes ‘skill’! It takes a while for good to get better, and better, best.

As I finished my breakfast, it was almost noon, (yes I overslept), I spotted these on the mint leaves!

While on my morning walk today, the usual daily stepping-out routine was a cold morning or noon? Cold noon. Well, I had forgotten to wear my warm Woolley cap, and of course, my ears were freezing. I rubbed my ears and kept my hands warm while concentrating on the trail, hoping not to slip on any icy sleety leaves. I kept walking. Standing there for a bit for the dog to catch up with its sniffing, I felt a soft, warm fuzz of air against my face. It was warm and cozy. I stood there for a few minutes and looked up in wonder. Was the sun extra kind to me today, or was it an angel hovering over! Up there was a window reflecting the sunshine.

George Bernard Shaw is credited with the quote, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” When she was small, I was often confused about when to take her out, feed her, and all that. I was confused, and I was exhausted and overwhelmed. As she grew up and I understood her cues, life became more uncomplicated. We were communicating. Well, she was, and I understood her. Though I hope she understands me when I talk to her because she often yawns when I am talking. With only a limited vocabulary of gestures and whines, she makes the most of it all! The head resting on a surface means let’s go outside. The happy dance is asking for a treat. When she brings her favorite green ball, it’s time to play. Of course, when she wants her meal, she comes to the kitchen and sits there next to the gas stove. That’s all the communication she needs in the day to get her stuff done! When she sees me put on my shoes, she wants to make sure she is going along as well. She will place her head on my foot and rest there for a bit, nudging me to take her along. I mostly give in. Communication is a two-way street, they say, and I love walking!
