There is no end to the different ways that people look at life. People view existence in this world through very different sets of eyes. Even when people look at the same circumstances and situations, different people have totally different views. Let me use two examples as illustrations.
To some people, life stinks. No matter what the circumstances are or the situation is, they always see the stinky things. Trouble chases them like a vicious dog. Problems cling to them like ticks. Tragedy rains on them like hail stones. When something good happens, they cannot enjoy it. They spend their time wondering when the bad will come. If they win a million dollars, the taxes are horrible. When someone is kind to them, they wonder, "What is that person trying to do to me?" To them, life is horrible, so they look for the bad in every situation.
To some people, life is wonderful. Everything is wonderful! If trouble chases someone like an angry dog, that person irritated the dog. If problems cling to someone like ticks, that person walked among the ticks. If tragedy falls on someone like hail stones, that person chases tornadoes. Life is naturally good! Bad things do not happen unless you invite them into your life. They never look at life and see anything bad.

Thanks for your message and for being my MySpace friend. To tell you the truth, I can't remember how I found your profile. It's 7 o'clock and I've still got my pants on. What's the occasion? I'm hoping that you dig our digital friendship as much as I do. Here's to MySpace, where they don't ask for proof of age and neither do I.
‘Awesome music. Your stuff is really incredible’ (Tommy Emmanuel). In this flamenco duo, Orlando performs his all original flamenco guitar compositions on the the guitar of his dreams, made in 1973 by Faustino Conde, Paco De Lucia's Luthier, accompanied by Michael Kontachristos on the cajon flamenco drum. A night of infectious gypsy flamenco by two of Melbourne's internationally recognised flamenco artists.

I'm not sure when exactly the Wedding will be as it's my Mum's & I've just recently found out about the Engagement, all abit exciting! I think she wants to have it in the Gold Coast Hinterland, a rainforest setting.. But that's just a thought for the moment. When I know a little more about what is happening, I'll be sure to let you know a few months in advance. I think your band would suit the atmosphere Mum is looking for.
Hope you're well & everything in life is going great for you, you deserve it!
