My solo path to Thanksgiving (1st Camino-Sept/Nov)

This trip means EVERYTHING to me!
My Gratitude, my need for reflection & for guidance are 'full-to-bursting' within me!
I feel beyond blessed & fortunate to be physically ABLE to embark on this walk when I know
so many who can not!

I found this forum in April of this year & have been glued to it almost daily! I thought I'd have asked numerous questions by now but trip planning has long since stopped being the motivation to check out the forum! The full & varied posts comfort me in a way that I know needs no explanation here! It just helps expand in me the 'openness to receive' that the tug of the Camino creates!

I was originally supposed to leave for my Camino Sept 10 -Oct. but work came up unexpectedly & I thought I would have to cancel completely! :eek:
Delayed but not swayed, I found that I would only have to postpone for a couple more weeks! The beauty of my new dates is that my return will now have me home just 1 week shy of my favorite holiday.....THANKSGIVING! How PERFECTLY FITTING is THAT?!:D

I will be leaving Atlanta next Wed., Sept. 26 to fly to CDG-Bayonne-train to SJPDP, to begin my 1st Camino on Fri. Sept. 28, although I feel my Camino really began in April.

So many wonderful, interesting things have happened since I put things in motion (like finding out one of my REI angels was also my neighbor & we walked together once & had breakfast on the morning of her flight out & she is currently walking the CF!) & so many 'beautifully'-painful things that I'm meant to reflect on while I'm walking, presented themselves too & ALL of it is meant for MY good! I just KNOW it!

Thanks to all of you, I now know what to do as those inevitable 'butterflies' are beginning to show up:oops: & the worries of my loved ones present themselves in the numerous times they ask me the same questions over & over!:) I may ask a few more questions myself as time draws nearer but for right now.........

Thank you all for being here & for what you share & give of yourselves!
I can't wait to be among the ones to have a 'past Camino(s)' listing under my name!

Buen Camino & Ultreia!:):D

Thank you for your post SoLive. My first Camino is about eleven months away and since I've found this forum I'm a daily visitor. I have had so much good advice and really enjoy reading the posts. I feel your excitement and am excited for you. Happiness and enjoyment - Buen Camino!
 
Buen Camino , @SoLive !
You will be walking later than you thought, which may be a blessing - there will be no crowds and more space for reflection.
May it be a grace-full journey, and all that you need.
