I've been thinking a lot about New Orleans and its spirit due to my recent embodiment of Mardi Gras for Halloween. One thing that speaks so strongly to me is the concept of "Joie De Vivre", which goes beyond its common translation of "zest for life." It is so much more. Joie De Vivre means that one finds beauty in the small things, that one breaks open a fine bottle of wine on a Tuesday, that one is a dreamer among many, that one becomes a celebrant for every occasion and that one dances down the street at a funeral to celebrate LIFE!
It is in the spirit of JOIE DE VIVRE that I write this blog. Lassiez les bon temps rouler!
PS I decided to create this watercolor of Joie De Vivre and then I took a picture of it... So it still counts a photo... Sorta.
I love this one!
