Something good and wonderful happened this year. I don’t mind talking about it.
Thank you everyone who helped me on this journey – those I walked with and those who read my musings on the trail to Santiago and beyond.
I am not a writer in real life, but I hope you understand the feelings I sent to you about life as a peregrina or lady pilgrim in Spain. What I wrote about was just a small amount of what I experienced and observed on the trail. The photographic images in the blog posts are just a fraction of those that I captured on my camera phone.
Even though my pilgrimage is over, I will be thinking and surprising myself with many memories for days, weeks, months, and years to come.
If anything comes to mind that you want to know about my pilgrimage in Spain or my wood shop, go ahead and ask in the reply/comment section.
You can be nosy with your questions. I might be wrong with my answers.*
We’ll figure it out.
The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority.
A second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority.
A first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.
– A.A. Milne
