...are often busier in retirement than they are when working. However, yesterday wasn't, as i spent the whole afternoon in bed, asleep. The arthritis I think. Its an exhausting condition. I did get to the meeting at the Hall in the morning though, thank goodness. Mick gave the talk, which was about why we fear Jehovah - and how that makes us happy and secure (unlike most fears). I have certainly found that to be true and am more grateful than I can say that the God of Abraham sent his witnesses to my door all those years ago.
We also learnt that some people have a fear of the dawn - and that there is a name for it which I have since forgotten. My two remaining brain cells are kept at full stretch remembering my own name these days.
A specific fear of the dawn is odd. I can understand the fear of a new day. I did not like Monday mornings in childhood as that meant back to school after the happiness of the weekend. As for the dawning of the first day of a new school year... aaaaarrrggghhh... I can remember the feeling even now.
But the dawn itself is so lovely and one of those times when you can feel the holiness of the world. Its been a quiet greyish dawn today over the English Channel, which is very calm at the moment.
