You've got mail...

and I love it!

I recently asked a small circle of close friends and family
 to write, 
on a 3x5 card, 
words of encouragement 
that I can open and read for daily inspiration 
when the going on the Camino gets tough.

(Yes,  I'm willing to carry the extra weight; 
the words enclosed in the envelopes will, no doubt,
lighten my emotional burden enough 
to warrant the decision.)

The first ones arrived the other day -
on the same day as my Camino 'passport'!

Coincidence?

No, I didn't think so either!

It's getting VERY real!

Can I just mention that NOT opening the letters immediately
is a new form of spiritual discipline for me?

How wonderful to have a whole packet of presents
waiting to be discovered -
one every day -
as a reward 
for getting up
and trying to walk!
