Have you ever been stuck in a rut?  As I get older I feel more susceptible to that feeling I think.  Sometimes even going to bed every night seems like a rut. That’s silly of course, we all have to sleep and we have to do it every night (unless you are a college student).   I don’t think it has much to do with thinking about the next day in my case. I think it just has to do with it being the same exact process every day, evening after evening.   Honestly, that is why I stayed up to watch the Royal Wedding instead of going to sleep, then waking up. I was home alone (my wife was on a business trip) and it just seemed like a way to break up that monotony of bedtime a little bit. What about you? How do you keep yourself balanced? Does it take breaking up a routine once in a while or do you find your balance in the comfort of that repetition?
