But the shape of my week is something about which I make very conscious decisions. Sunday has always been a special day for me. Worship is central. Sometimes I lead and preach, sometimes I am grateful for someone else's ministry. Then it's usually home for a quiet day at home.
And before that I usually have my Sabbath. I started this habit many years ago. Lockdowns seemed like one long Sabbath! My Sabbath is less structured now but it is more part of my nature.
Then Mondays I often swim, Tiesdays and Fridays it's the gym, Wednesday Annie-the-home-enhancer or Jack-the-lad may come. There might be a Women's Institute meeting or coffee or lunch with friends. I could shop in Brigg or just go out on my trundle truck to enjoy this lovely town.
But always I am glad to come home to the peace of my bungalow. to listen to audiobooks or to knit or just to be.
Just being is absolute bliss. I really need to cultivate that more often.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Brilliant, isn't it!
DeleteRetirement comes with lots of freedoms to just be.
ReplyDeleteand I love it! Bet you do too.
DeleteLike you, I find Sunday is crucial. If I begin my week with worship and fellowship, the rest falls into place.
ReplyDeleteTotally. But the Sabbath on Saturday is very helpful in making the most of Sunday.
