Freedom and Routine

These words can mean different things to each individual. Some kind of routine is probably necessary for a minimum of organisation but too much can end up being very boring indeed. This is probably where the concept of freedom comes in; the freedom to break the routine or impose a different one. Sometimes it can be very creative to get away from your average routine and this is where holidays can be very enervating. This was brought home to me very strongly recently when we had a friend staying with us and this put us into a different kind of routine which worked, at least to some extent, while we had our visitor. But the sense of freedom after he left was enormous.
