Structure

Right now several of the factors which provide predictable structure in my life are missing or changing which makes it difficult for me to maintain my many healthy habits like regular exercise, prayer, meditation and plenty of rest and sleep.  I find it easy to fall back into chaos and distraction.  My mother-in-law is in need of care right now so my wife, Maria, is staying with her.  She has been one of my anchors.  The places that I normally go to recovery meetings are closed so that part of my structure is also missing.  I tried to do the weekly shopping two days ago only to find crowds of angry, fearful people and missing supplies.  Time to get back to my exercise routine and then I think I will meditate!
