Today was the best weather day yet for walking and had a pleasant 15 mile walk. Walked most of the way with Kim from Oklahoma who is a really inspirational Catholic. She and her husband are super active in their Parish and our walk today has given me some good stuff to ponder. Among the things I want to check out are a series of published homilies by her Parish priest (also the Vicar General in their Diocese) on the Seven Deadly Sins. I will be anxious to check them out when I get back home.
It was more of the Meseta today so my thoughts wandered to my Mom. Mom was an incredible woman, she made sone choices as a teenager that could have derailed most people's lives, but it did no derail hers. She persevered sn crafted a great life, she has always been an inspiration to me. She was always kind and loved being a Mom. We were always dressed special for Church, holiday and family events. She always made things special, Christmas the house was always decked to the nines and she always made things special for everyone. The one issue I did have with her involved some things with my first Marriage. She recognized the issue, we talked it through and both apologized. Forgiveness was easy and effortless.She was taken from us way too early at the age of 68. My mom was the best, I miss her beyond words.
Well past the halfway point now. Tomorrow I will walk right through Leon, I'll stop and admire the Cathedral and take in the Vibe but the plan is to walk a full 21 km on to the village if Virgen del Camino.
