RE: Bet You Can't Match My Shortest Vacation Stay
It's no good when you think something is better than it is once you finally see it. :)

Yes, Michael, we can apply what you said to many events in life that don't match our expectations. The key to success is handling those twists and turns creatively.
It really is all about how you handle these situations. It can make or break you :)
You reminded me of Chuck Swindoll's marvelous passage about Attitude, which I memorized long ago and quote frequently.
I don't know that one.
Here is Charles Swindoll's magnificent message on Attitude:
Charles R. Swindoll
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
Thats a wonderful message indeed! Attitude really is everything.
"When your thoughts are right, the facts don't matter."
All my life I have believed what you just said!
And when our thoughts are right, we will change the facts!
