The Pilgrim's Journey

My first blister in seven months showed up today. Not from hiking...from wearing dress shoes the other day. Bummer. Caught it in time before real damage could be done.

 We hiked again in Forest Park. It was a short hiking day. I needed to head home and prepare to officiate a wedding this afternoon.

 We leave three weeks from today! Trying not to go into overwhelm thinking about it.

 From our pilgrimage booklet:
 "The pilgrim must embark on this journey with joyful anticipation, being willing temporarily to separate himself from the world and to offer him/herself in humble service to another. A successful pilgrimage involves a commitment to leave behind one's problems and to focus instead on seeking to learn more about our heavenly Father, making one's heart full of desire for special graces, praises, petitions, and thanksgiving, returning home transformed, renewed and restored by the abundant blessings received."

 I accept!
