Good morning, dear reader! Due to Hurricane Ida, I am currently unable to access internet at my home. Today, I went into the city of Hammond with Andrew to take care of an issue at the post office, and we decided to stop at PJ’s, a local coffee shop, to access the internet and take care of a few online tasks. Just wanted to say hello, let you know my family and I are fine, and will be publishing posts when I can get back online.
Yes, that is me standing in front of an oak tree that uprooted in my neighbor’s yard during the hurricane. It was one of the many trees that uprooted in her yard as well as in my own.
Despite challenges that Hurricane Ida has presented in my personal life, my community, Louisiana, and other areas of the United States, I am grateful, hopeful, and have faith that with time, we will all prevail and regain some normalcy. Happiness!
“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
