What about the person who doesn't care which way the wind is blowing, as long as he can laugh delightfully with it?

Are you that person? Because if you are congratulations, you've learned the art of letting go and enjoying life.

The photo of the kite really struck me for some reason. (In a good way.) ;o)

Good, I'm glad. I had originally placed a different picture there... the kite just seemed more appropriate.

Well, replace "delightfully" with "insanely" and I approximate that person (when I'm not posing as angst-ridden ;-)

I tend to be the pessimist (I bet that doesn't surprise you, huh? lol) when it deals with my own life, and more of an optimist when I'm talking about someone else's life...and a realist every now and then. :)
