I broke my foot slipping off of a curb in France. I was on a tour with a wonderful group of high schoolers. I also banged up my knee and wrists pretty badly AND got stung by a bee on my collarbone on the way down. The students were caring and concerned. They did not treat my 50 y/o self as feeble. I did not seek medical attention until we returned to San Antonio 8 days later. Like you, I powered through the pain and even ascended Mont St Michel (albeit slowly!) later that week. The love and appreciation I got from those kids that day will forever warm my soul. Thank you for sharing your “trip” and making me feel not so alone in my journey.
Anne Lamott is most definitely a powerful 'wisdom figures' of our current age (pun both intended and not) - feeling blessed to have her, and you, in my corner as wisdom figures <3

Love this. Thank you, Simran! And I certainly
hope you walked on that tender ankle to at least one sweets cafe to find some sugar to help the medicine go down. 🍵🍧
