Mom had her latest check-up for cancer yesterday. All is good, thanks to God. So I CAN go off on Tuesday!!!! Whooppee!!!! This happy little bunny is so relieved that the evil beast is still at bay, and so pleased to be able to not feel guilty any more about having continued with my plans with faith in the future. My prayers are being answered again and I am so grateful. Last October I promised my next Camino would be one of thanks for the intervention or an understanding one of dedication to her memory. I am so glad it is the former and I have the continuing pleasure of this wonderful lady in my life. (And a joyful Camino) :):):):)
My life is so wonderful! I have no idea if I deserve it, but I will take it happily though.
Buen Camino all and may you be equally blessed.
Mozarbe here I come!

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Such welcome news, Al

and a gentle reminder for us all to Carpe Diem

Last night we were meant to be at a dear friends 60th birthday dinner. Instead she was rushed to hospital with a pulmonary embolism. Fortunately she was standing right next to an ambulance at a sporting event when it all happened.

Life is precious and fragile all at the same time - and wonderful too.

What a beautiful focus for your Camino.

Go Well
