Blessed

I must share this irony. The instant I hit the publish button on the above blog, the song that came on from my music was Carol King singing “You’ve got to get up every morning with a snails on your face and show the world all the love in your heart.” Was that a coincidence or validation of what I had just written from Jean? I choose the latter.

I am blessed in so very many ways.

There are many things that walking the Camino does for you (not to you). It is such a time of reflection that it takes time to accumulate all of the thoughts and lessons learned. I finished days ago yet I am still filled with the memories and ideas that presented themselves, however briefly. Phrases said and allowed to lie fallow come back to demonstrate their deeper meaning and lesson.

As I rest and recover in Barcelona before a cruise with dear friends, the most important lesson that continues to come back is how incredibly blessed I am and have been in life. In spite of an impossible loss 3 months ago, I cannot deny that the friendships created over decades and the support of family are priceless gifts that others never know.

I am not finished with my journey.
