Planes, trains, automobiles and gondolas! Well, what an experience it was to be chaperoned through Venice on a gondola. I would like to say a very special thank you to the wonderful person that made this happen...

In a world full of fast action, when you choose to take this form of transport be prepared to be whisked away into another dimension and a journey that is full of rich culture and hidden jewels, and then... be brought straight back to planet earth when the gondalier blasphemes at having a bucket of water splashed all over him! Priceless! Mamma mia!

Sometimes we find ourselves seeking for the perfect life, a perfect existence. But what does that mean? I can only conclude that it means that there are many that seek what is not real, what is not tangible, something that does not have a soul.

I pinch myself every day and believe that I am lucky to be able to have my own thoughts, to have a will that is my own and a desire to want there to be a tomorrow that holds hope and a 'raison d'etre'.
