In May and June of 2012 I walked 620 miles or 1000 kilometers in France and Spain on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela - the way of St. James. This is my journey. Your comments are welcome. My journey continues now long after my return from Spain. It is important that life becomes a journey, and that it provides ways to enjoy and experience new beginnings.

Waiting
Waiting is awful. I have things to do but I can hardly concentrate. I am so ready to be on the pilgrim's trail I can hardly stand the delay. Should I start counting hours? I don't think I am that good at math. I have one more essay to write for my Wars of Religion class then I am done with classes. I have to organize in my storage garage but I think that won't take too long. There is still some calling to cancel subscriptions and I'm rather undecided whether I should go to get my hair done again. But I am ready to leave and the waiting is so tiresome. Did I mention I tried to get an earlier flight? Well, that was rather cost prohibitive. There is plenty to keep me busy but I am still distracted and have started having nightmares again for some odd reason. Must be the anxiety and the lack of immediate exercise. I walked into town Saturday, 8 miles over various terrain, and it was terrific. But I am concerned that I will have jumpy legs on the plane and there is little I can do to relax once that starts. The best prevention seems to be not to exercise too much. I'll be exercising a great deal soon enough. However, getting a good physical workout could stem a large amount of my anxiety right now. I'm so ready to leave, so, so ready to leave. Are we there yet?
