I will crawl before I quit
Today’s Riddle
The Pace of Life
Am I a Princess?
Belarado
A rural Hotel
I had to eat a little crow after I made “The Pace of Life” video. It started to sprinkle, then rain, then deluge. Literally minutes after I criticized my fellow trekkers for not taking the time to smell the roses I was almost running and continued at that pace for several kilometers.
The GREAT news however is that I have gone for 2 days now with virtually zero knee pain. I thought that maybe yesterday was a fluke but we walked over 20km today and I never felt the slightest twinge. I’m wearing my braces, putting anti-inflammatory cream on them in the morning and night, and we haven’t had any steep incline or decants (we have that tomorrow). I’ve got my fingers crossed that I have conquered that demon – it literally brought me to tears but I WILL NOT GIVE UP.
See, I am smelling the roses!
The beginning of Fall and some of the sights I might miss if I didn’t take my time.
As you can see, most of the time I am taking the time to soak in this experience. And, again, I will not quit.

HAVE you met your SPIRIT GUIDE, the voice that is with you on the journey, the one that talks to you on those long walks? I am going to give Tim a call and set up a time to watch our movie. I have been busy being a YAYA!!! I hope your knees behave on the inclines. All is well with us. I Love You Tons!!!

This is a fun entry Joe. I liked seeing the accommodations. It’s enjoyable to get to “experience” the little slices of life–the stop-overs along the way. I’m happy your knees are working for you again. 🙂
