I just finished the reading Paul Troendle's sister MJ's travel blog WalknWomen. She and Janet were walking the Camino de Santiago together, a 470 mile pilgrimage across Spain. They planned to do it in eight weeks. MJ is still walking, but Janet was having foot trouble before she left home, so she walked for a few days, then flew back to Iowa early. She frequently helps Paul with his business. MJ lives in California and does real estate, I understand.
I so admire them for taking the challenge on and doing something so difficult. I have thought of doing it every since I read friend Judith Fein's article in Spirituality and Health Magazine. Just doing something that is a spiritual journey seems really important to me. I would like to go to India and spend time in an ashram, or to Bali. The bad thing about traveling outside the United States is that I probably couldn't take Chloe, and I am quite attached to her. I really shouldn't let that get in my way. Staying here is getting to me. I do need to travel, I think. Maybe I should just take the Prius across the United States alone with Chloe. I could get a little tent, and we could stay in campgrounds, or I could put a mattress in the car, and we could sleep in the car. That would be cool. I wonder if we could do our own pilgrimage? No...it's not the same.
My knees were swollen this morning when I got up. Too much softball, or yoga, I guess. More about that later...on Open Salon maybe.
