I've spent most of my day off today collecting items to ship; first at the thrift shop and then digging in my own closet. (Believe me, in South Louisiana, you collect a lot of winter gear that never gets used!). It's been a bit emotional for me as I thought a lot about the Tumblr blog NOLA to New York, and the stories of my fellow New Orleanians sharing what Katrina gave them. For me, if I had to single out one lesson, it would have to be "survival". I learned a lot in those early days, months and yes, even years in recovery from so many people that when I was diagnosed with cancer five years later the idea of not surviving just wasn't even a fathomable option. So, carry on New York, New Jersey, and affected areas...better, stronger days are truly ahead.
