Paranoia – is the woman who stops to empty five Bunny bread bags of crumbs into the bayou in front of my house aware of my feelings about those non-native Peking Ducks?
Disgust – Obama caught in the partisan backwater and the buzz is he is failing. Good grief. Why would people set him up to fail when if he fails, we fail? Does party line trump real hard choices?
Joy – walking the bayou with Loca and detouring down Bell towards Ursuline Street – perhaps one of the prettier streets in New Orleans. A different walk than the norm, a different point of view. One house has one of those old fashioned screen doors that has an emblem of an egret on it. Love it. Reminds me of why I have always loved New Orleans.
Trepidation – heading back to work after being gone a month – am I irrelevant?
Guilt & Worry – not taking my cellphone when I went to walk Loca, what if the nanny needed to call me because of Tin – worry worry worry, guilt guilt guilt.
Believe – a big banner on a house on Ursuline Street commenting on the Saints going to the Superbowl. Perhaps this also goes in the category of Miracles.
Miracle – with all the bounty I possess in my life – a loving partner, health, an awesome son, a great dog, a bastard cat and a lovely house on a beautiful bayou in the most interesting city in the world with great friends and a career I am passionate about that I would ever, ever think I had one thing to complain about. My life is nothing short of a miracle.
