"Discouragement is a negative emotion with more than one trick up its dark sleeve. It tricks you into mentally or emotionally dwelling in the very place you want to leave. Drop all such sorrow permanently by daring to see through this deception of the unconscious mind. Who you really are, your True Nature, is no more tied to the kind of person you've been than the wind is tied to the skies through which it moves. Your past is just that, the past, a place within your psyche with no more reality to it then the picture of a castle on a postcard is made from stone. You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today."
I think Kitty was planning something like that for my birthday too but she didn't get all of her vaccinations in time (giggle).

Salzburg is also one of my favorite places. My Dad was once hijacked by his wife and taken there for a surprise birthday party. I flew out from the US to meet him and "accidentally" bumped into him in a Salzburg church. The look on his face was priceless!

I lived in Hungary for the summer of 1993 to teach and I went to Salzburg 3 times I loved it so much. I would like to return for a romantic trip someday. The last time I went I was with a bunch of wacky-fun Australians. No complaints there! There is a special place in my heart for Venice too since I spent my 21st birthday there.
