It's been four years since Katrina battered the Gulf Coast and created the situation for New Orleans to be deluged. There has been progress but much remains to be done. In New Orleans life seems to be coming back (at least in the French Quarter, Garden District and Uptown areas). Wander off the beaten path and it is clear that there is much re-construction still needed.
Please keep the folks of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in your thoughts and prayers this week. One coping skill I teach is to develop a 'Gratitude List'. Even those of us who are dealing with a long list of problems always have blessings in our life. When we contemplate the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast and what they went through, what they lost and what they will never get back it can help put our struggles in perspective. This is not to say that our struggles are trivial or less meaningful, it is simply to gain perspective on our suffering.

I can't believe nobody comments on your blog. It's just not a blog without snarky comments. This is the Internet, you know.
I had a great snarky remark to commemorate the first comment, but I lost it.
Let's just pretend I said something witty.
