29 May
Today, for the first time during my walk, I wished I could be somewhere else. Today I just missed my family so much. They will be together until Sunday because my two little nephews are being baptised. Today they all gathered together. And of course I want to be there too. I’ve known it all along, but today I just found it really difficult. Of course, I also know that it will pass and that there will probably be other days when I feel like this.
On top of that, I’m probably a bit worried about the next 250 kilometres to Mora. Tomorrow I’ll reach the end of the Bergslagsleden trail and thus the end of luxury hiking. There are some trails to follow, but reportedly less well marked, less well maintained and not so many shelters to use. It’ll be fine, though. I have maps, after all. But it’s just a bit out of comfort zone. And then there’s the prospect of rain tomorrow.
Up and down. Down and up!
It’s probably a good thing I wasn’t connected today to share this. Tomorrow will be a new day. Rain or shine!
Ah, memories! It has started for me here, it is so strange to see you sitting in the same place three weeks after. Hope you liked the cottage.
Sorry to hear that you feel down, hope it will turn again soon. I always try to remind myself that without these down moments we wouldn’t enjoy that much the opposite. Sunshine will eventually come again, and more it rains the better it feels. Stay strong and be patient ❤️ Looking forward for meeting you again.
Thank you so much for your support, Knut. If means a lot.
And I loved the hug as it kept me dry 😊
