#79 - This is getting to be a habit (or is it habitat?).

Interesting how I'm thinking now each morning about what I might write about.  They say it takes 30 days to turn something into a habit.

According to the OED, the word HABIT originates from the "Latin Habere:  to have, consist of,  from the Latin habitus ‘condition, appearance’; the term originally meant ‘dress, attire’, later coming to denote physical or mental constitution" whereas the word HABITAT comes from Latin habitare, then Latin habitat meaning 'it dwells.'

That's some food for thought. I guess we develop habits based on our habitat.  If we dwell in it, eventually our appearance will be based on where we dwell.  Makes some sense to me.  If we live in clutter, our life will feel cluttered (somehow the original Vault Goddess resembled that remark, for certain; it's what I'm trying valiantly to overcome).

So, can the reverse be true?  If we follow a habit, will it morph into becoming our habitat? In other words, if I write enough, will it turn into a book?

Guess I need to work on developing that habit to find out.
