There’s a little back spot on the sun today. It’s the same old thing as yesterday. The Police 1983 Now that I’ve let go of my camino this year and mourned it for the last month I am ready to re-enter life as a Pilgrim. Now I can begin to look to the future andContinue reading “THERE’S A LITTLE BLACK SPOT ON THE MAP TODAY”

This weekend we had our two oldest granddaughters (ages 5 & 6) staying with us. The oldest drew a picture of all of us taking a nature walk. In the end I was tired after making ice cream with the girls and decided to stay home. So she… X-ed me out!!! Buen Camino

Well she didn’t exactly tell me to post this in person. Or even by email or text. And she didn’t appear to me in a vision telling me to post this. I did, however, read her book Big Magic. Actually I read it three times 😮. The topic of this book is living a creativeContinue reading “ELIZABETH GILBERT TOLD ME TO POST THIS”

…and know that I am God Psalm 46:10 Not everyone walks the camino. Some ride the camino on bicycles and others ride on horseback. I encountered many cyclists during my pilgrimage and while I never saw anyone on horseback I did see the reminders that horses had passed by on the trail. I can’t imagineContinue reading “BE STILL…”

We have been in quarantine since about the end of March. At first it was really hard to imagine not being able to be free to leave the house. I was OK with that though. I had things in my life coming up that I was looking forward to. Little did I know that COVID-19Continue reading “I AM SAD”

Nobody panic! No, COVID-15 is not a new strain of the COVID-19 flu. COVID-15 is the 15 pounds gained during the quarantine. All that gourmet cooking that I learned to do, all the wine pairings I attempted (several times), and all those Quarantinis 🍸 that I experimented with, and all that time I spent watchingContinue reading “I HAVE COVID-15 😮”

While I’ve been on this sort of QuaranCamino I’ve been thinking a lot about the Camino I walked last year. Bits and pieces come back to me and make me smile. These thoughts remind me that although this QuaranCamino is not the one I would have chosen, nonetheless it’s the one I’m on. One ofContinue reading “THE BREAD OF LIFE”

There’s a website with an accompanying Facebook page called “Sad Jesus”. Sad Jesus has a lot of followers on Facebook including many of my friends. Sad Jesus proclaims that… Saddened by the ever encroaching darkness, Sad Jesus seeks to bring light, name darkness, comfort the broken, and afflict the comfortable who think they have allContinue reading “WHO WALKS WITH YOU ON THE CAMINO?”

Last night we ate at this fabulous little restaurant near by. We’ve actually eaten there quite a bit since this quarantine began. It’s called The Dining Room. The menu is limited but still very good. There are two chefs and they both do the serving. The lasagna and the fettuccine Alfredo are the best I’veContinue reading “A FABULOUS RESTAURANT NEAR BY”

I have been thinking of how the quarantine is like the camino. This is a journey. A journey like no other. An opportunity, a struggle, a seemingly impossible task. Sometimes you are alone on your walk. Sometimes you are with others. Always whether alone or not you are on this journey with a host ofContinue reading “QuaranCamino”
