Day 68

I know, I know. There are no excuses, but I got off track. I injured my foot somehow, and it's just now healed well enough for me to walk long distances again. I also hit a huge wall called "Lack of Motivation" after I allowed people and their opinions get in my head and take over. But that's all in the past. So let me just re-state my intention here, for me as well as for anyone else who might read this. I AM walking the Camino de Santiago through Spain next May. This blog is, and will continue to be, about my journey to that goal - physically, spiritually and mentally.

Today is my birthday. It is also the beginning of a Personal Year One according to numerology. It will be a year of fresh starts and new beginnings. My arms are wide open, ready to receive the amazing things coming my way. I deserve these things. I have worked very hard to clear out the things that no longer served me, and to make room for new opportunities. It's time to let some things in. To take the risk that by letting things in, I will eventually have to let them go. I am OK with that. I'm stepping through the fear and into love.

I started my day with a new book called, "The Magic" by Rhonda Byrne, author of "The Secret". This book goes more in-depth about the practice of gratitude. In fact, it's designed to be read over the course of 28 days. Each day a different exercise in gratitude is practiced. At the end, a new habit has been formed. The habit of seeing everything as a blessing for which to be grateful. There's no better day to start this, since I am being reminded of my amazing family and friends wishing me a beautiful day as my iPhone blows up with notifications. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

And now, I'm headed out to get back on track with my walking. It's a gorgeous Colorado day. Time to go enjoy it.
