I think if I just apply more old-fashioned elbow grease, I will achieve a level of comfort that I haven't seen so far. I hope so.Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411998468123052731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934570763492781767.post-10137301075133028302011-05-01T18:59:15.882-07:002011-05-01T18:59:15.882-07:00So ...

That's hard to do with a roomful of people watching you, but a pep talk to yourself could work <i>before</i>? <br /><br />I also love the songs, "Whenever I feel afraid" from the <i>King and I</i> and "I have confidence" from <i>Sound of Music</i>. On days when I'm facing something scary and I don't feel quite up to the task, I will sing those in my head (and sometimes even out loud!). For me they work, not only to calm me, but also to put in perspective that in the whole scheme of things, the particular obstacle I'm facing is relatively insignificant.<br /><br />Good luck! Remember you have many people cheering for you and praying for your success. :-)@jenhalloranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790327529721421324noreply@blogger.com
