I agree with Professor Strunk's advice. Yet, many people clam up. Society often criticizes and conditions people to become self-conscious. Its only through realizing this and also taking steps to rise above judgment that you can build self-confidence and say what you really want to more comfortably. That photo image is priceless!

And, in my humble opinion, building up warm family memories is one of the best uses of your time right now. :) I love your blog. Bob,

You know, Jean, I can't say that I'm really trying anything new right now. I'm pretty much in my comfort zone. Your post has challenged me to think about that! That is such a cute kid!

For a long time when I made a mistake I would tell myself, "So you made a fool of yourself again. You've done it so many times by now, one more time won't make any difference." When we get to the place where we don't agonize over mistakes, we free up a lot of energy for more important things. Thanks for coming by!

I can't always laugh at them that day, or even in the same week, but eventually I always find the lesson. When you can laugh at your mistakes, that’s when you know you’re in a good place.
