The best thing about walking any camino - ours or a different one - is that it teaches you that no matter how far away the end line is, it can be reached, as long as you have the right frame of mind. And of course, once you are aware of that, it is the act of keeping on walking, and not getting to the end line, that really counts. .

Old Mr. Pazcuzzi in Sixth Grade used to tell us kids we were wishing our lives away when we'd tell him we couldn't wait for summer vacation. Well, I can't wait to hit the trail again either!

and often it's the end line where the real journey/Camino begins...

...46 days or so...and I'm practicing walking in the rain so as to be ready! (Pac NW in Oregon has been soggy, to say the least).
