LIVE from the Camino Musings

So these are the " musings " the Camino has delivered so far

* Having " expectations " of oneself can hold self back
* Having expectations of others holds me AND them back
* Look for the signs on Camino and in Life .... They are there ... Requires attention to THE MOMENT
* if you miss a sign ... Don't worry the next one is around the corner
* If you didn't learn the lesson the first time .... Don't worry .... The lesson will return
* Judgements are a sign one is not happy with their own life ... A happy person has no need to judge others
* Everyone's path crosses for a reason .... We don't have to know the reason ... Just have to know there IS a reason .
* ALWAYS be grateful
* Eat as many pintxos as possible while in Spain ... It won't be the same at home
* March to your own drum and leave others to march to theirs
* Hills and valleys are placed there for a reason .... They will get you somewhere you may not have thought of going .
* Problems are solutions waiting to be found
* Every problem is a new opportunity
* oh and those bruises on your body ... THEY are the real COMPOSTELA
^ Make love to your feet .... They are the only things that are going to get you to the next bed

* If someone has their wet laundry pegged to their back pack , they may have stayed at a hotel which has no laundry instead of staying at an albergue that understands the needs of pilgrims ...

Today's Musings
* Do NOT get " cocky" if the first week passes without blisters , pain or injury .
The Camino and your feet are working together and will provide a lesson in humility when they see fit
* Do not put your foot first aide at the bottom of the pack .... That's just asking for the above mentioned lesson in humility
* If your feet speak you better LISTEN

My head is doing " flip flops " on me .... Each evening I think " what am I doing here ? " " I've had enough"
THEN each morning I think
" WOW what a great day to be alive and walking the Camino "
Am I going Camino crazy ??
