It is hard to believe that it I leave for Europe 1 month from today. I am actually having trouble typing the word "month". Each time I try, my fingers automatically add an "s" to the end of it but no, it's only 1 month to go...crap, did it again!
The past couple of days have been kinda strange, especially yesterday. I actually had a few panic attacks. I don't think it was about any concern regarding the physical side of the trip that was bothering me but more the part about being away, out of my comfort zone for 45 days...alone. Chances are I won't be alone for very long as I already know from the Camino forum I follow that there are several people starting the same day/same place as me. I guess it's mostly about being out of my comfort zone...strange country, strange language, strange food and aside from a few yellow arrows or shells, not having a clue where the hell I am going!
No doubt there will be a few more (OK, probably several more) moments of doubt over the next month...hey, I finally typed it without the "s"....guess that's progress eh!
Just remember to breath through the panic attacks! I hope there are more than shells to mark your path so silly person walking ahead of you might pick them up as souvenirs and then your are screwed. OMG
ReplyDeleteGuess I should have mentioned that the shells and arrows ar painted on the walls/sidewalks or poured into the cement. It is rare that the "markers" are moveable...anymore!
