yes once the initial shine wears off you start to notice the cracks and flaws they were always there we just didn`t see them

Hi, I always go with my first thoughts and it generally works out each time. I spent most of my life living in the 'rat-race' in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is a wonderful place but everything operates at such a fast pace. Then five years ago my partner and I happened to drive North to the warmer climate of Queensland for a holiday and just by chance, happened to come upon a beachside suburb of Redcliffe called Suttons Beach. It was so peaceful, with cool gentle breezes blowing from Moreton Bay through the Norfolk Island pine trees lining the beach-front. I immediately thought 'What a fantastic place' then we drove around the headland to see the Redcliffe Pier jutting out into the bay with dozens of people with their kids just walking along it breathing in the sea air. We stopped outside a sidewalk cafe for a coffee and cake while we took in the friendly people walking by. Looking out from our table we could clearly see Moreton Island in the distance with outcrops of sandy hills. Squinting, I could make out the Resort of Tangalooma, where the residents hand-feed dolphins at dusk each day. I said to my partner "Is this paradise or is it the pits?" We glanced into each others eyes and both of us said together, "No, this really is paradise". We immediately got up, walked 50 metres to a real estate agent, saw an apartment listing being placed in their window and I said, "I think I could live here forever". From that moment on we have embraced the beauty of our warm environment. Every morning we step out onto our front balcony overlooking the bay with the sun shining across to our apartment, and we give thanks for our blessings. Not everyone can live in paradise like we do.

I beleive this is hell and if by chance there is reincarnation, I'm trying to be a good person because I do not want to come back here.

Or, "What was I THINKING?"
