New Orleans from the 22nd floor, taken years ago when I was there visiting with my son before he started flight school. It was a great time to visit!
When we arrived, the whole city was mad with joy, as the Saints won over the Vikings in the game that would take them to the Superbowl.
Everywhere, people were dancing in the streets. The entire city was one big party that went on till dawn.
I'm not a football person, but that didn't matter. It wasn't about football as much as it was about life, about overcoming tragedy, about being filled with joy.
The whole atmosphere was magical, and just thinking about it now puts me into wonderful frame of mind. This kind of stuff stays with you!
Now time has moved along, and it's been a bit of time since people walked by on the street, and said, "Hey, don't worry about nothin', baby. You in Big Easy, now." Bless their hearts, they meant it, too. Time can't change the feeling of love that was being shared in those moments.
And I still remember. A feeling like that is worth cultivating and keeping in your heart. The great moments that you have to reflect on in your life can sustain you through a lot of other stuff. What really great times have you known? When you think about them, what kind of feelings come up for you? What do they mean for you?
How can you share those feelings with others, keep them alive, use them to nourish your dreams? I want to help you do this.
Let's tap into your creative powers!
Have a really great day, and remember the good things.
