Hi Neighbor!
As I meander, dawdle, and navigate my way through the New Year, I am keenly aware of my comfort zone when it comes to my day-to-day nuances as well as areas I am not willing to change nor comfortable changing. We get stuck, not in a rut, but in habitual patterns and preferences. Our routine.
