creatures of habit

foot tracks crossing paths, punctuating the smooth blanket of snow before sunrise this morning; my husband and local feral cat King Henry are off on their morning commutes!
i was tempted to follow King Henry's tracks to find out where he heads to every day, without fail, sun or snow. the little bugger!

speaking of habits, i have joyfully broken the habit of consuming dairy and eggs (yes, even "free-range" eggs which i sadly discovered are not cruelty-free).  it took me a while- 25 years to be precise- to make the transition from vegetarian to vegan. this path of abundance has happily led us (Rob too) to explore/ include delicious raw food dishes (way beyond the 'cold salad' cliche). it takes 3 weeks to develop a habit and we are 5 months in and feeling, noticeably, better than ever! one of the catalysts for change was watching Forks Over Knives on Netflix, which i highly recommend seeing.
