New Orleans photo montage

This month I’m inviting the Mid Life Celebration community to follow all five daily blogs about work life balance. It couldn’t be easier to go from this HQ blog to the mental attitude blog , just click -> go to Next Blog
Jeff,
It brought back a bunch of memories. It has been about 5 years since I have been to New Orleans. Ah, Cafe Du Monde! Thanks for sharing!
Bob
Bob, having been there several times now, I’ve been seeing the everyday-ness of it. The once-in-a life-time feeling the first time a few months ago has been replaced with an “it’s weirdly surreal to be a regular” type of feeling. Such a contrast.
Jeff,
I agree with you. I had gotten to a point where I had become rather “familiar” with the place. I had been going there for work about once or twice a year for about 6 years in a row. Then my responsibilities changed, and I go to Destin, FL, now for my association meetings.
It is a surreal place…and in some parts, an unsettling feeling.
Bob
Bob, ths is one of the great blessings of seeing what’s on the “inside” more than once. The novelty, and the hype is removed and we see reality. And these “special places” allow us to see that every place is special, but not every place has a great marketing and PR department.
Bottom line: Every place is special.
