It has been a few really quiet days. Yes, it was one meeting after the other but most of the time, I stayed put in one place and everyone came to me instead.
After 4 1/2 days of endless moving, it was one big great dip. I had looked forward to the not having to worry about unpacking and repacking. But I didn't anticipate the huge sense of loss of camaraderie. And it is huge. For while I may have walked the Camino on my own, there was really very little time that I had spent on my own. Well, except for that one afternoon.

It is already Saturday. 2 Saturdays from now, I would already be in my own home, cuddling my babies around me like crazy. But until we get there, there is the time in between.
Truth be told, I am now honestly looking forward to Wednesday night. That is when my boy arrives from a long trip from Kuala Lumpur. And I shall keep the image of flying into his arms at the front of my mind for the next few days to see me through the aimlessness and loneliness that engulfs at each meal period.
Quiet days - let's just have only a few more of it!
