Lay down my burdens

This afternoon I went to the French Quarter Festival, and laid down my burdens... down by the riverside. I danced with the Cajuns and the Mardi Gras Indians, and grooved with the funky festival goers. I ate crawfish and alligator and bread pudding and boudin.

Next week I will lay down my burdens by the oceanside.

I'm sure I'll pick a few of them back up at the end... but hopefully the vacation will make them lighter and easier to bear.

I'm wondering what is going on with you, and sending hugs your way.

It sounds like things are tough right now. Hang in there!

I'm glad you put them down, at least for a while.

It sounds like you're going through a very hard time. Sometimes the only way out is through. Sometimes things pass by faster than we think.
Praying that you have some relief soon.

It is so important to dance and sing during the hard times. Sometimes that is what gets you through.
My prayers continue to be with you.

I'm thinking of you.

Thanks for visiting me at The Women's Colony.

Grace to you, in thick billowy clouds...
