Hi, Heather. I liked your essay on tiny habits. While your article may not have been written to be humorous, as a Vietnam veteran I found it funny. I mean, try following any routine consistently when suffering the effects of PTSD. I'm often accused of suffering Alzheimers. But, against all the opinions of others, I seem to manage. Of course, my years in the military ingrained certain habits that are immutable. For instance, always putting my important stuff in the same place and within easy reach. Thank goodness it is no longer a weapon or ammunition. Making sure there is enough food in the house to last three months. Hey! Who knows when the world will end? I mean, how would I go shopping if the buses aren't running? Keep a generator and fuel around to last a year. Hey, if I'm the only human left on the planet, I'd want to listen to the radio, or keep the beer cold. I mean, what's life without a cold beer every now and again? Don't ask me! I don't drink, but I like the thought. But diet rootbeer would do. I think you get my drift. Well, I thought I'd just compliment you on a nice piece of writing. I can do that, can't I? Regards
