I’m back from my first-ever trip to the Wisconsin Dells. I had no idea so many water parks could fit into one town! I visited five parks in four days, and I think my fingers and toes are wrinkled still from all the lounging about in the lazy rivers. It was delightful.
This weekend, my sister asked what was I most looking forward to on the Camino. I told her I was most looking forward to Day 23, or any day in the middle of the journey.
By Day 23, hopefully I will have acclimated to the rigors of the Camino. Hopefully my physical self will be used to walking every day, hearing a different language, and being in the “Camino community.” And once my body relaxes, perhaps then I will be able to focus on the spiritual work I hope to do.
So that’s what I’m looking forward to: chilling out, relaxing on the Camino, feeling God’s presence, and giving thanks for my family and friends and this amazing life with which I have been blessed.
Although, now that I think about it, that is actually my goal for every day of the trip. Hopefully, each morning I’ll be able to let go of the physical stress and my anxieties and remember that. Hopefully by Day 23, I’ll be in the Camino groove.
