Routines

  I get very set in to routines of doing things. Something about my personality makes that very comforting to me. Take my commute to and from work, I've been so used to listening to podcasts on my iPod as I do that that when the iPod connection in the car broke it really threw me off. Now that I've fixed it everything feels right again while I'm driving back and forth to work. Just that something about having the familiar actions and surroundings.

  Some people thrive on change, I seem to thrive on the same old stuff over and over with just the odd bit of new sprinkled in. Not sure why I'm like that but I am, it seems to be how mentally I deal with things the best. I find something I like and stick with it pretty much forever.

  The perfect example of that is my wife. When I first met her it felt so right and I knew I just wanted to be with her forever. Anything that makes that change I avoid like the plague. I would do everything I can to make sure her and I stay together for all of our lives and do my best to make those lives as long as possible. To live any other way would destroy who I am and what I find best for me. My life with my wife is something I treasure more than anything else. Not everything out of our control is how I want it but the sheer fact of being with her overrules any other possible thing in my life.

  Things really are that simple sometimes. There are some things you will never change because to change them would be to change who you are and what makes you happy. My way of doing things makes me happy. My wife makes me happy.
