Weekend Watch #77 – A Christmas Gift from Beyond the Way

Being an imperfect human, I complain from time to time about my dissatisfaction with my difficulties at work, how it’s so mentally draining, about not having my own home…a place I can return to instead of the next b&b or guesthouse.
And then you read or hear about events that overtake the lives of others, and you realise that there is always someone else worse off…a mother trying to shelter her children and find food after a devastating earthquake, families losing their homes and belongings during a flood.
I try to remind myself that despite the difficulties and frustrations of my life, that is just what they are…and they’re neither life threatening or devastating.
And I am reminded just how fortunate I am and have been.
Have you walked the Camino in Spain? Or any pilgrimage in another country….
camino sustantivo, path, road; journey; way.
