The Importance of Making New Habits - Day 18

I was feeling especially smug and self-satisfied earlier today. I tried to analyze why I am feeling so. I think it boils down to being all set up for our winter in a mere week. We now know where to buy things we need. We are pleased with our accommodation. Most importantly, we have gained a fairly quick knowledge of our previously unknown surroundings.

Travelling is important because it breaks one's habits. It becomes necessary to adapt and broaden one's views. One is kicked down to the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy. Food and shelter take initial priority. That offers a fast education and, when experienced, a great sense of accomplishment.

I would hate how things could settle into a comfortable routine and years just slip by unnoticed. Honestly, I believe it's really healthy to shake it up a bit.

Experience has shown me that not everyone has the same needs. Seeing the world from other horizons, though, has always been important to Jay and me. Personally, I want to keep trying to live a life worth remembering.


After several visits to Ragab & Sons Supermarket, we discovered a whole floor we'd not seen. Now, that will be our premier place when shopping for our bigger items. It's across the road from the end of Medina Street, pictured above. See, live and learn!
