It was recently pointed out to me that the word "ritual" is contained in the word "spiritual."
Looking at the definitions below, courtesy of Merriam-Webster, I suspect that is not by accident.
Spiritual: of or relating to a person's spirit
Ritual: always done in a particular situation and in the same way each time
Those rituals and routines I perform on a daily basis are tools I can use to feed my spirit.
Making the bed each morning, the way I set the table, the seasonal items I decorate the house with, the manner in which I fold the towels, can all contribute to my spirit.
Perhaps, it's just of matter of how I view these simple tasks.
