I didn’t take many pictures today because there wasn’t much to see. It was pretty cloudy all day so a bit gray the entire day!!! But no rain until the last 15 minutes!

We walked along the Loire River most of the day. It was so quiet that it allowed lots of time to ponder…what we are doing. And talk about plans and how we proceed.

Caminos, long walks are great ways to process so much…for me there is a lot of opportunity to let go (or lose) much of what weighs you down.

It’s interesting that you carry your pack and everything you need on your back. Every once and awhile we take stock of what we are carrying on our backs, physically and decide we don’t need certain things.

And you also carry a lot of emotional and mental baggage everyday. Learning to take the stones of regret, anger, hurt, disappointment, frustration, pain, etc out of your emotional and mental backpack provides a freedom like you have never known.

I encourage you to take time to check your emotional/mental backpack…look at what you are carrying unnecessarily and let it go
