Day 9: Success is in the Routine

Day 9, March 22: Success is in the routine

My husband and I are celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary today. Yay us! Instead of the trip to Florida we’d planned, a fancy dinner out, or our favorite getaway spot Traverse City, MI, we’ll be here at home. It seems quite fitting, though. A life, and marriage as a part of that, is made in what we do on a routine basis. I found this quote that captures the idea well.

So, today we’ll do the things we’ve done for 23rd years, and we’ll throw a little spice in the mix as well. We had coffee together and then took a beautiful hike at Lillian Anderson Arboretum. Later today, we’ve a date to dance in the living room, enjoy happy hour, and have an amazing dinner of filet mignon, salad, and pasta with capers and parmesan (grocery was out of potatoes!). To top it off, a pear galette is in the works. Can’t wait.

And of course, we’ll be kind and considerate to each other; I will micro-manage the cooking of grits, but will be forgiven.

Celebrate something soon in your life. Tweak your daily routine and you’ll change your life.

23 happy years of marriage

I like to play tennis, sail, play the bassoon, bake, read, and at times have experimented with writing. Starting a blog was one of my retirement plans, so I'm happy to finally launch one 2 years into retirement. I've been in Michigan for 20 years, but grew up mostly in Louisiana and have lived in various states and briefly in Germany.

  1. Happy Anniversary! One year ago the four of us were hiking in the Superstition Mountains, good memories. We will make some more this year too!
