Today was a long day not just because I am now walking alone,but because my feet are killing me. There are a lot of pilgrims now on the way, spread out by miles and hours. Some walking together loosely associated, some bonded by old friendships some bye new. There are also many walking alone. Today is what I would class as a mental health day, challenged by pain and challenged by being alone. These factors challenge my mood and my though process, it was painfull to arrive in Logrono. With my parents help, I went to see a podiatrist who did some work on my wrecked feet. Its often hard for me to control my thought process, this is when I can end up feeling very sad and lonely. Today was one of those days. But I have eaten, and am now tired and ready to sleep. Tomorrow will be another challenging day, to walk I must strap my toes up. I do have many tools in what I call my mental health handbook. (My head) I will have to utilise what I have to keep going and stay positive.
Simon, take a rest day or two! You need to give your young old bones a chance to rest and recover, don’t you? Please take care! Heather
