5 years ago today, on my husband’s birthday, we left New Orleans, our home, and our outside cats to face a very uncertain future. This year we (literally) got back everything we left and plus some. From here on out nothing can take away what we have earned.
The title from my ancient Photobucket account reads “Me & Runty, one of the cats, on our porch. God I’m going to miss that house.” Funny how life works itself out. On a fashion side note that denim mini skirt was very on trend in 2005. 🙂
I’m not going to recap our plight, the sadness that I felt and still feel at times, and the hardships that everyone has endured as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Instead I’m going to revel in how far the city has come, how exciting it is to be a part of the New Orleans revival, and how content I feel to have my little piece of the city that I love so dearly.
New Orleans, I love you.

I was thinking about that this morning… how I didn’t have anything sad to say, but rather was thinking about how full circle life has come for me. And I have no regrets about the choices I’ve made.
Amen sister sister.
