Little Rituals



I have a little painting I've been working on. I made sure my palette was clean, I saw my brushes were ready, and that the colors I wanted to use were at hand. I filled a jar with clean water. Now ... can anyone tell me why I felt it necessary (and it was a conscious decision) that I put on a bra before I could begin my work? I did it. I said, "I need to put a bra on before I can work on this."
It's not my only little ritual: before I go to a swim meet, I exfoliate with salt, then shave - all in an effort to save nanoseconds as I compete in the 70+ brackets. (I hope you all can *hear* the sarcasm) And before I can paint, I put on a bra.

Well done.

No, I can't explain that.
