Routine to Rituals

As I was thinking about the theme this week, I thought how can I make the everyday things more meaningful in my life by setting purposeful intention as I go about my day, being mindful.

Routine to Ritual

Morning coffee, fresh ground for wake up
Wrap hands around warm cup
Feel the warmth spread throughout
Embrace calm, breathe in, breathe out
Slowly savor the morning brew
Let each sip bring comfort anew
Breathe in, breathe out, feel calm
From routine to ritual within your palm

Start the day with something new
More than a glance at sunrise view
Step outside, look up heavenly skies
Witness nature’s beauty before your eyes
A routine to ritual emerges from within
Finding gratitude in moments is place to begin

Slow down the daily march of life
Reduce the pace of the drum and fife
Observe the wonder of simple things
Embrace the peace mindful moments bring
Find the goodness right from the start
Routines to rituals with thoughtful heart
