Camino Begins April 2018

[Diane Booth]

My camino begins April 25, 2018, although I think it has already begun. It began as a hmmmmm Camino, are you serious, I don't think so, and then 'why not', and followed by a I need to go.

Hi Diane, welcome to the forum. I'm sure that many of us can relate to your thought process! Happy planning and Buen Camino.

Quite understand, I was told in a board meeting last week that it was obvious my Camino has already started even though I am not flying into Madrid until April 7.

Hi Dianne,

I can relate to you. This is my second and I'll be leaving St. Jean on the 29th - Not too far behind you. May you have a good Camino. James

I'm sure we will cross paths, my camino will be a slow one, for the first time in my life I have no timelines, no deadlines no appointments, no expectations and no place to be except where I want to be. I've cleared 3 months on the calendar, have a 1 way ticket and camino begins on April 25th, it ends when it is time to end. My journey is mine, raising kids, working for 40 years, losing a husband and soulmate to cancer 2 years ago, all of the fates lined up and said, c'mon woman before you begin this new life let's make peace with the old. I want to walk alone but not be alone. Exciting, terrifying, yes the new word is tercited, sort of a combination of both lol Looking forward to April, am reasonably fit, it's not the walking so much as the thinking that tercited comes into play.... bring it on..I'm packed can we go now?

I’m sorry to hear about your husbands passing... life has a funny way of leaving such large gaps us after we’ve devoted so much to so many. But the Camino has a funny way of filling those gaps, allowing us to find the parts of ourselves that we sometimes forget ever existed.

You’ve already started on a good footing. Keep walking, moving forward, and the path will take you where you need to be.

PS. you don’t have to be that fit - we all end up walking at the same pace, no matter how hard we train.

PPS. I’m kinda packed as well
