So routine?
How do you start your day?

Daily 5
@homeroom1, quick question for you guys? What is your daily routine to get started?
When I was younger, I didn’t think I had a routine. I thought routines were boring, for other (older) people who lacked nimbleness.
And then, little by little, I am become said old person without nimbleness and stuck in a “boring” routine.
It started out with a pushcart selling $1 coffee and not so fresh croissants on my way to the Number 6 subway line. The coffee was so-so but the guy seemed to really really love being out there, rain, cold, or shine vending his coffee and chatting with his brother in what seemed to be really fast spoken Arabic.
Some people look to influencers for life cues. I found my life cues in this guy.
He was more cheerful and voluble at 7 AM in the morning than anyone had any right to be so I gave him money and drank his coffee because I wanted to attract that same energy into my life.
