Well, today it begins. I saw Justin off to work this morning, and as neither one of us wanted to say goodbye yet, I'm going to swing by the hospital around 10 to say the official "see you soon". A few last minute cleaning things to get done, some bubble wrap or something to buy to wrap my walking stick since times have changed since I last attempted the Camino, and I am no longer able to carry it on with me. After meeting Justin I'm blessed to be able to have lunch with Marissa and Shannon at my favorite restaurant: The Chicago Diner! From there, my two lovely friends are going to drop me at the airport (around 1pm). My flight is scheduled out of O'Hare at 4:15pm.
I am now getting the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that comes with nervousness, and pain of saying "so long" to the person I love most in this world.
I keep reminding myself of the journey I am about to embark upon. It is the chance of a lifetime. This journey is going to change me in only ways that God knows. BRING IT ON! If I've learned anything in my 26 1/2 years on this earth, it's that I have to be willing to take RISKS.
Buen Camino!
