The Journey Continues

I initially started this blog to share my experiences walking the Santiago de Compostela also known as the El Camino de Santiago. The name of my blog also reflects my life - living here on earth under the stars. El Camino translated roughly, means Walking the Way - and we are all pilgrims (peregrinos) in life, walking the way in our own way, in our own lives, in the country/city or towns where we live, at our workplaces, in our family and friendship circles. Life really is a journey. Each one of us decides if it is a pleasant, exciting, adventurous journey or if it is a hardship. I can honestly say that for me life is an adventure. Certainly there were times that I experienced deep pain and unhappiness. It is also true that I have known love and abundant joy many more times than I have felt pain and unhappiness. I have amazing friends, awesome kids, lovely grandchildren, and then I also have cancer. So this blog is about the start of a new journey, the journey of chemotherapy and all the unknowns that follows. . . and me sharing this with you. I have been ignoring the issue a bit, seeing that I feel well and fit but today my hair started coming out in big chunks. . .Those of you who knows me well, knows that I just love my hair!! All of a sudden it is a reality - chemo will get me. . hehe. But on the upside, can you imagine how much less time I will have to spend in front of the mirror in the mornings. I love wearing hats and they can all come out now and I will be saving loads of money - not having to buy shampoo and mousse and the electricity to dry, curl or straighten the hair must add up to quite a bit! So, watch this space, for some fun reading, sometimes maybe some sad reading. . but hopefully always uplifting reading. . . As always Much Love Life Peregrino. . .
