I love this review and discussion in regard to our daily routines.

My wife has been teasing me for a long time by saying

I lead a monastic life implying that every little routine I do

is being treated as a spiritual practice by me.

Indeed I have tried over the years to imitate and emulate those monks

and nuns in monasteries in dealing with my daily routines.

I suppose and believe this attitude may be a good antidote to boredom

and spiritual emptiness. 

You can always mix them with prayers to lead a life of prayer, I feel.
