[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 690890, member: 16024"] You had a good day, Copa. You know why I know that--because you tried. You did something hard. You put yourself out there. You did a very brave thing. I remember watching an interview of the young woman that started the Spanx (underwear) company. This was years ago, but one thing she said moved me so much that I remember it to this day. She told the story of how, every night at dinner, her father would ask his kids to tell him what they tried and failed at that day. She told the interviewer how she would gleefully talk about what she tried to do and whether it went bad or not was irrelevant and how it taught her to put herself out there and not to be afraid of success or failure. I have always tried to remember that and teach my kids that. It is a beautiful way to look at life. Don't worry about failing. And don't worry about your 'beseeching' look. Chances are--that is only one interpretation and others don't see it that way at all. We are here for you. Apple [/QUOTE]
