I haven’t been back in years and have been wondering what its really like (besides from TV/pictures), so thanks for writing this. I can’t believe how much clean up there still is to do.

we can all use a little perspective now and the. I can’t imagine what the people of that city go through day in day out, makes me realise how much we really should be thankful for.

Happy you did enjoy getting away and hope all that yummy food was of the soul food kind.

I know your post is very bitter sweet but you know what, you sound so much more dare I say it.. positive bleh word maybe strong and bananaesque is more approp, either way it’s good to see Amanda peeking thru the clouds again

Glad you enjoyed your trip, even though it was bittersweet. I totally understand how you feel about focusing on what you have instead of what you don’t. Perspective can be a good thing.

That last point really touches me right now, A. Thanks.
Whether it’s infertility or financial loss or whatever other crap life shoots our way, I need to be reminded of that a lot more often than I am.

I think it’s great that you were able to get away for a bit…even if you did come close to doom with mahi mahi. I have never been to new Orleans, so I can only imagine what it’s like now…it’s sad when life is drained from such a vibrant city…reminds me of NYC weeks after 9/11…you only walked those streets unless you absolutely HAD to. I imagine New Orleans will slowly come back to life as time goes on. Cimagine Mardi Gras anywhere else.
