The same old routine

I guess we all have our routines. Things like mowing the lawn a certain way, driving to work on a certain route, singing rubber ducky while taking a shower. Things like that.

One of my favorite routines is waving goodbye to Ben every morning. Even if I head out at 6:00am while it's still dark, Ben always wakes up when I open the garage and runs to the window for an early morning farewell. Even from outside, I can hear him jumping out of bed and running across the house to the front window.

I'm always glad to see him, and it's a great way to start the day knowing that somebody desires to see me, if only for a few seconds, before heading off to work.
