Sam is really good at complaining. I say he is my human Eyore. I know that this trip is meant for us because first he complains about everything--distance, temperature, clothing, parents, snacks, and anything else he can think of! And after all of that is over there is joy! Sometimes it's subtle. You have to know how to read him. There is a contentment in his spirit and a bounce in his step. It's lovely to witness.
Honestly this scares me a bit. I'm a start with the joy kind of person. Part of my Camino preparation is preparing for many days of complaining and learning to really celebrate the joy!
P.S. I wrote this several weeks ago, and I have been really surprised by how much more acceptance I am witnessing as we prepare more. There is an inner fortitude in this small boy that is starting to glow. Sometimes I am warmed by it when I need it most!
