Getting re established in a routine is good for the behaviours as well as creating a anchor for the future. many yearn for the summer holidays and when they are into week two they wish they were back to work. Not because they particularly want to be at the desk or machine or vehicle but to get back to the reassuring routine that gives stability to the day.
Great thinkers, developers, strong theologians or writers and the likes of new ideas people have needed to switch off from the routine and break through the confines of "normal" thinking. Today when we have so many self ego thinkers how much more do we need people who will suspend the normal to deconstruct and reconstruct their lives.
I really like the possibilities of back to basic thinking that can then revitalised the present for the future. Yes there is nothing new under the sun but there is a need for freshness in the thinking of the present. last weeks fruit and veg is withering...
So as I look over the Pitlochry roof tops in another wet weekend, as we settle in our new area of responsibilities and look forward to a holiday break I consider the winter ahead and the possibilities that might be in this part of the Highlands
