After my two weeks in Bercianos taking care of pilgrims on their way to Santiago, I walked a few days myself - just from Bercianos to LeĆ³n, where I caught a train on to the next part of my adventure.
I walked slowly and sent my bag ahead of me, but still got blisters. I listened to the birds and sometimes to a podcast about grief. I stopped to write or paint whenever I felt like it. I chatted with people and made some friends but also savored solitude after two weeks of continuous communication.
"Nothing is for certain today, even the things you take for granted (like noon time hunger pangs). And while this uncertainty could be uncomfortable, you could choose to see it as an opportunity. Today can be a good day or a bad day -- depending on what you choose to make of it. Missed that killer parking spot by three seconds? Wonderful! You get to enjoy a little more fresh air as you walk from the spot that's farther away. Your creativity enables you to make lemonade out of any lemons. " --- from my horoscope...
*** hmmm... definitely, maybe...
just a really quick post... enjoy your day, everyone! :)
" turning points come rarely and far apart for most people. this is fortunate because too many sharp turns in our lives might only bring us around full circle. dizzy and disoriented, we could find ourselves back where we started... could it be that before long it will be dawn upon us that maybe, just maybe, we are fated to return to where it all begun? " --- Phyllis Zabballero, Everything is Possible from the book Life on the Cusp
If I didn't have my little WaMu notepads, I wouldn't know WHAT to do with myself. My day-to-day work (and occasional personal) tasks are religiously jotted (or...chicken-scratched) down on these things. I usually go through a WaMu pad every MONTH. So, Paul the Senior Mortgage Banker from WaMu, keep on bringin' them into the office. Ha! :-D
(By the by...$206 to see the dentist? *pffft* And this was merely a routine visit! Note to self that ISN'T jotted on my notepad: be sure your next job provides dental insurance. *snort*)
Jumping on a parking garage...totally normal.
I did a photo shoot for some friends who are in a band, Note to Self.
They were so much fun to work with.
