Last e-news, I talked a bit about my adventure away in Europe for 6 weeks.

To say I didn’t worry about going and how it would unfold would be a complete lie.

I worried-and I worried a lot!

There was so much uncertainty-with the pandemic still in progress-even if we all were vaccinated and the countries we were going to were doing well with their vaccination rates and their current low case rates.

Some of my worries:

• Did I have all the right documentations? There was a lot to complete.
• Would we need to test before stepping foot into every restaurant along the way?
• What would happen if I or any of us (we were 5 friends) tested positive on one of those tests.
• How would I do walking any where from 10-15 miles a day? Would my feet hold out? (I tend to have ball of foot issues). Would I be so tired I couldn’t do it?
• What would the group dynamics be?
• And, on and on…went the thoughts, the worries.

Quite frankly, it was stressing me out-yes, the stress relief specialist was getting rather stressed.

Until…I made a decision.
