Is it a habit or a tradition? A habit is an act that is formed, over time, that becomes part of a routine, part of everyday life. You don't really have to think about a habit. Brushing teeth, showering (well for some, LOL), smoking, feeding the critters, are all habits.
A tradition is also an act that becomes a habit but maybe not on the same interval as a habit. Going to the same restaurant every year for an anniversary, putting the same tree topper on the Christmas tree year after year, having the family gather for Sunday supper....all traditions.
To me, a habit is something that is required but maybe not enjoyable or anticipated. A tradition is enjoyable and anticipated and sometimes we take photos to memorialize the act.
Make fine dreams....a good night wish that HE gives to me. A tradition HE started years ago. HE know this makes me smile inside and out. I love our traditions no matter how small or silly or spread out or unconventional. They are ours. They make our relationship different from the other parts of our lives that are habitual, routine, chore driven. "Kisses" HE says. "Back" I say.
Good night my love. Make fine dreams.
