Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to keep on going after you fall or something shakes you up... or you receive mean/thoughtless criticism. I guess I want to make sure my kids see me walk-the-talk so to speak. If I expect them to step out of their comfort zones so that they can learn, well then I better be willing to do the same. <br /><br />Thanks for your supportive words.<br /><br />NickiNickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333869924278210044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449698803200850980.post-72104828653805193392009-08-28T05:57:43.307-07:002009-08-28T05:57:43.307-07:00Hi Nicki,

I ask my students in my writing and motivational psych classes how long they practiced walking before they gave up and stopped. Sometimes they sit there stunned and tell me two or three times. Then I say "Really! Stand up" Then they all laugh and get the point. Last year I was on crutches at the beginning of the term, and that made the lesson even more powerful. <br /><br />Call yourself a painter. You are a good one.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.com
