The day dawned cloudy and partway through breakfast the rain
started.
We are attending the Shepherd By The Sea church while we are
here in Myrtle Beach and this morning Pastor Brad Bellah’s sermon focussed on
how when we are in a crisis the words “Help is on the way” brings relief as our
community comes to assist us.
We cannot thrive outside of community, we can live, survive
and we cannot thrive and here is one of the personal issues that retirement has
created. How will I thrive in the future
as in retirement I have severed my relationship with a community in which I
have thrived.
With this realization I know the task ahead of me. Many communities are present around the periphery
of life, communities that I now need to spend time with and determine if I can
thrive within these new communities.
After the service we spent time mall walking, yes mall walking
getting daily exercise is a promise we have made to each other.
Now that I am relaxing I have started to discover myself, the
things that bring me joy.
I am a creative! Taking
apart tangles and picking out seams calms me.
I am a fixer! And I do not know what to do with this aspect of
me.
I am an idea person! I
love living in the world of ideas and to satisfy this I am reading “Man’s
Search for Meaning” by Viktor E. Frankl recommended to me by a friend.
I am a treasure hunter! I enjoy looking through thrift stores,
and the beach for flotsam of interest.
