. . . let me share this quote, which I just came across, with my fellow forum members:

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Of course, everyone who is reading this has decided to do, not just to think about doing. But it's nice to get an affirmation that the time is now to get out and do, whether one is 18 or 80. When that inner voice (the voice of GOD?) calls, it must be obeyed. I'm a 60+ year old and will be doing my first Camino in May. Buen Camino, everyone! 8)

Go pilgrim, follow your quest, let nothing detain you,
Take your share of the sun and the dust,
Lift up your heart
Forget the ephemeral
Things do not matter,
Nothing is true but Love.

When you stop at a bar for a beer, wine, coffee or bite to eat, and sit at a table, is it expected that you will return your dirty dishes up to the bar before you leave? I alway do, as it seems...
