Day 76

Clearly, the Peace Pup has adapted to the temporary change in activity! This was the sum total of her activity this evening.

This morning opened with the application of a salve made and named specifically me by my friend, Becka Hood of Olde Souls. Becka and I are kindred spirits, and became closer after I got to stay with her (and her husband) on night two of the Walk. When Becka and I saw each other last week, she asked if she could make a salve for my knee to aid in healing. I said yes, and I received it at the benefit concert I attended last night. I have applied the salve a couple of times today, and I can definitely feel the warming properties of a number of the herbs in it.

Later this afternoon, I was gifted a massage! So, for an entire hour, I was in the hands of one of the most skilled body workers I know, Tammy Corkins. I explained to Tammy before the massage began that my knee needed attention, and I came away from the massage feeling as if my whole being had needed the attention it received.

Tonight, as I prepare for sleep, I feel relaxed and in this moment, pain free. I am so fortunate to have the blessing of friends and healers in my life. I am touched by the generosity I have experienced each and every day of the Walk.

I believe that in each gift received there is also a gift to give, and I look forward to doing just that as I continue the Walk for Peace.
