Living conditions are seasonly challenging for all creatures

 

Putting things in perspective when life challenges us is an effective way to feel better instantly.

Sure, it was a bit cold on the morning run in 29 degree weather. But with hat, gloves, and multilayered clothing, I actually was sweating.

These Geese had no shoes on their feet. Can you imagine?

Mind, body, spirit, so let’s give a moment to think about our work today, punch in here.

Luckiest teddy bear in the world?

 

Five emotional observations from Super Bowl Sunday:

1. Traditions are great reasons to be close to people we love

2. Sports, music, food, friends – few things rival these pleasures

3. Fighting for the prize seems noble

4. Never lose hope for victory

5. Never get comfortable being in control

We can only hope we might fit that description.

Alcohol made everyone amazingly brave, but not this…

That’s okay, we’ll just stumble home

 

Mardi Gras 2013 began yesterday, and yours truly was there.

Teaching all day inside the Mercedes Benz Super Dome, dinner at The Palace Cafe on Canal Street, beignets for dessert at Cafe Du Monde while sitting on Jackson Square fence, watching Mardi Gras parade pass by.

Heading back to the Hyatt Regency New Orleans, for amusement, we walked a few blocks down Bourbon Street.

What started as a spontaneous moment to stop, step aside, and people watch for a moment morphed into a 30-minute sit-com.

Mesmerizing.

Fascinating, it seemed we (most likely) were the only two sober folks in town.

Alcohol made everyone amazingly brave. But it didn’t make anybody an ounce stronger.

Halifax, Nova Scotia to Burbon Street $159?

 

New Orleans is a spirit filled city. Hard to explain what that feels like, but after three recent visits, it’s real.

What is glaring is how the spirits are at extreme ends – Divine presence and the fiery passion of satan.

It feels like a battle ground.

And in some strange way, almost feels like daily living.

Anywhere.
