Expectations of experiences

Signing up for this travel course with big expectations in store. I wanted to take this course to experience life a bit. I went from high school into marriage and motherhood, leaving my parents’ home and moving into my husband’s home. I have never regretted my choices, for it is what makes me myself but I have always yearned to experience more not settling with what is. Secretly wanting to be able to offer more experiences to my children, hoping to expand there future endeavors and dreams.  

 When mention of this course came about I was excited at the thought of experiencing all that New Orleans have to offer, the history and the culture encompassed my yearning for more.  I want to use all of my senses to capture the spirit of New Orleans, I want to hear the music, taste the food, feel the textures of the city and see the atmosphere that is being offered through this course. I want to be able to catalog the culture in my memories. To be able to use what I experience in my future nursing practices to provide all that my patients may need in every way that they need it. I love to feel the energy of an area, I can’t wait to be able to see the culture involved in New Orleans.

I think this course will make me experience New Orleans and the culture it is portraying, I will be forced to experience more by having to blog about events and experiences. I use the term forced lightly because I will doing something I enjoy, writing. Something we all take for granted, we often walk among the world in a stupor. Not taking the time to live in the moment, to getting all we can get from that experience. Taking time to indulge in the experience as if it were one of our last moments and we want to remember it forever. Entangling our lives within the lives and things around us.
