Sunday!

Its Sunday again, it does come round fast these days.
I am not going to church again today so it’s becoming a bit of a habit. Instead I am visiting...several of my friends have either lost spouses or been ill lately and I will do them more good than if just stay safely at home.
Unlike the rest of the country Cornwall is enjoying sun filled days and it’s warm enough to sit outside...but in my case only with a very big hat on!
It’s very quiet outside as yet so I have no way of judging the traffic.
Not attempting to get to a church is becoming a bit of a habit...which is very weird indeed given my calling. But I sift through the local churches in my mind and I just don’t want to go.
There would be too many conversations requiring explanation and I’m not ready for that yet.
Retiring from the church has made me far more introspective than I used to be.
If I’d taken the decision myself it might have been alright but it still feels as though it was forced upon me.
The problem is I suppose my age. I am over eighty....an age when anyone sensible has stopped working...but I feel no different now than I did ten years ago. So that makes me a very fortunate old woman.
Maybe I should just shrug my shoulders and get on with it!
Becoming a permanently grumpy old woman looks entirely possible right now.
Bah! Humbug!
