One of my post-pandemic, calming rituals

Breakfast every morning in front of this window that looks out on birds and forest. The day doesn’t feel complete without it.

My friend, Mei, Mei, my grandchild’s dog, has her rituals, too, but hers has been the same since she was a puppy. She’ll sit for hours like this.

What rituals have you gained during the pandemic? Please let me know.

    I’ve started waking up early and doing my morning ritual of blog housekeeping plus novel editing, and my evening ritual consists of breathwork and meditation. All new thanks to the pandemic.

      Good for you! Let us know what else you discover. Have a feeling processing the pandemic is going to take some time for all of us, but we writer will literally “write the book” on it.

    That’s quite a lot of change, Stuart—all beneficial. Guess this ill wind has some good in it. Thanks for sharing! You’ve inspired me to work harder to make my writing a ritual.
