It's Been a Decade...

How did that happen?  I moved here 11 years ago for a 2 year job and I'm still here! It's time to renew this blog! Those little kids that moved here have flown the nest and we are empty nesters.  Wiser to many of the Louisiana ways now, yet still amazed by the beauty of the live oak trees and the food that spoils us daily here.  I embrace the beauty that exists here in the muggy air as well as the beauty we find in Tennessee as we travel home often.  I am planning to craft some travel and restaurant sharings that uniquely describe our experience here.


Being a wiser human now than the blogger ten years ago, my wisdom has grown from watching the paths of our children which include the triumphs and the snares.  Parenthood is so difficult and it never ends, but it has forced me into the shape of a better person along the way.


I am watching my friends retire and/or expire and wondering where my future will take me. I am exploring ideas for my next career which will likely be less lucrative but hopefully less stressful and I am aiming to maximize the happiness...something that I have rarely found in corporate America.  The blog journey is officially rekindled.  It will likely include my faith journey as well as my physical journey.  Be forewarned that nothing is ever straightforward in my world. 


Bon Voyage to myself.  I hope you enjoy.
