Dejà vu all over again!

 It's been years since I've bothered to really blog at all.  I hardly ever post on social media anymore.  Some how in the process of preparing for this new route though, it seems right.  I've stumbled to my original blog fro the very first Camino back in 2008.  Such a long time and space ago.  My sons are rapidly approaching the age I was on my first walk.  

And yet. The excitement is still the same.  The nervous twitch.  The slight anxiety.  Doesn't seem to matter that I've gotten hundreds if not thousands of miles under my feet. I've walked with my husband. With friends. I've walked in remembrance of the same. Somehow it's all still new and unknown.

That little shiver of anxiety is probably a good thing.  It'll help keep me alert and careful.  Im hoping it'll keep me from being to cocky and making mistakes.  And perhaps the experience will also allow me to relax a little more and enjoy the journey to its fullest.  

For now, it's practice walks and practical planning for the year ahead.  Making sure this Gran-mère has everything as ready as possible.  Finally after years of practicing phrases in Spanish on DuoLingo, and achieving a minor amount of skill, why not travel to places I have zero linguistic skills!!  So on that note, I'm off to see if I can at the very least say good morning and good night in French.  Or Italian. Or hope I remember what country I'm in when trying to use these skills.  Should be entertaining to say the least.

Hasta luego, mes Amis!
