My experience has been that people get what their mindset prepares them to get. Two people can be in identical situations and one sees the positives and the other the negatives. In reality, both exist, in everything. It's the total package that counts. In traveling around the world I've found that there are more similarities by far than differences in people. I always remember that I'm a coal miner's son even though I've been to 52 countries. So that doesn't make me any better than someone who hasn't been more than 200 miles from their birthplace. We'll all the same, once you get beyond the superficial. I can't wait for our 3 months in The Villages -- off No. 5 fairway of Silver Lake Country Club -- to begin Jan. 1!
