Anytime one undertakes a major move there are adjustments to make, shifts that occur and events beyond one’s control. Our move to the New Orleans area has been no different. It is a process, beginning to put down new roots, meeting new people and connecting. I believe this gets more difficult with age since we tend to be more protective of ourselves and our privacy. But I have always been one to reach out and I continue to do so.
I’m enjoying the little bit of exploration my knee has allowed me. Whether it is driving down Magazine Street in New Orleans….
Or the charming little town of Covington that is near our home. New things to see, festivals to attend and restaurants to try. It is a lovely place to be.
Crossing the vast causeway every other day or so to enter into New Orleans is always a time to reflect and be at peace. It’s the longest causeway in the world. At 24 miles long it spans Lake Ponchartrain, which seems more like a sea to me than a lake. There is something about living on or near water that is essential to my well being.

I have plans to discover and walk the extensive path of Tammany Trace that skirts the lake and the railroad system on what is called the North Shore. I’ll have photos and words to share.
I’m feeling more connected, more settled with the passing of each day. I’m thankful that you enjoy this blog and that you look forward to more posts I’ll be sharing! Have a joyful week and let your lights shine!

I am always happy to see one of your posts in my mailbox. I agree with having a difficult time making adjustments — the older we get but I love new challenges. We are still on SSI and will be here until the 25th. I was born near a sea and water always calls out to me too. I feel at peace. Take care and I look forward to seeing your photos.
