It is not often that one conciously recognizes the start of a habit. This would be one for me. funny thing, it's not that special at all. I guess that is why usually people dont notice the start of a habit. it's just not worth the attention. It's the end of a habit which seems to be the more interesting bit. from my current mood I can deduct that the beginning is pretty much in line with everything else that is going on. basically the same local derivative. At the end though, the orthogonality of the habit with respect to the rest of your life is what tends to get you. No wonder people pay the most attention to the end....
... and that marks the end of the beginning... All that is left is the middle part.... and the end ;)
