My friend David Mills and I are hoping by January 2023 to launch our podcast “Everyday Pilgrims Podcast”. Our definition of pilgrimage is a bit more expansive. Our definition is: “A journey of thoughtful intention with an unknown outcome.”

On the day before the last day, people started asking “how do you feel about the journey ending?” For me this is an interesting question. When you finish a school year your learning doesn’t end, your friendships don’t stop, your journey doesn’t end. A chapter is complete but the novel goes on. Everyday is a new beginning and continues the journey onward.

Many of the people we have met are continuing their travels. Many of the young people are taking the opportunity to explore and learn and travel. Others are exploring changes in relationships, jobs, opportunities. The journey continues.

We had a nice day. In the morning we got to see many of our West Highland Way family. The people we met along the Way. Then we walked around town and relaxed. Much fewer steps today 😂😂😂

One of the frustrations we have had is with internet access. But yeah that’s on all trips like this. Oh well. Adapt, Adjust, Accept!

We had dinner with our dear friends Jackie and Khristeena tonight and then off to Stirling in the morning by train, where we can see a different view of the West Highland Way. It’s been a wonderful adventure. One where we will be gleaning the learning for a long time to come

I encourage you to realize that life is a journey, it has its ups and downs, high and low points, mountain top experiences and valleys of hard times. I encourage you to embrace them all and learn from them. Look back occasionally and realize how far you have already come, accept where you are and prepare to journey onwards. ❤️
