Creole wisdom: 'Always see the brighter side!'

St. Louis Cathedral in the heart of New Orleans, the 'mecca' of all things (including people) Creole.

The collective wisdom of my Caribbean Creole family can be summarized in these words of my mother:

"... to live from a grateful heart, a heart that cannot be shriveled small, because it has been broken, widened and filled with all the joys and sorrows a life can hold. One has to be thankful, son, for small things.
Try always to see the brighter side."
