Yeah, sometimes it's more natural just to stay in the zone when a child walks in, but then I remember how I felt as a kid. Always good to acknowledge them! ;-) Rob - So glad you found me, and I'm glad to know you as well! Thanks for the kind words. Looking forward to your future comments/tweets! :-) Julie - Love your additions!! Absolutely agree with all of those!! We should start a master list. ;-) Sue – Thanks.

Never have too much ego that you can't absorb advice someone wiser has to offer. Another one I love is to stay humble and be grateful every day!

I like "b" and "e" best. Thanks for contributing to the list. :-) Big Ed - Sometimes I get so mad at myself when my performance declines midway through the workout. I want to be STARTING strong all the way through! Then there are other days when I remember cues half way into the workout that make me seem stronger at that point! Thanks for your comment. :-) Dave – Excellent additions! I like “b” and “e” best. Thanks for contributing to the list. :-)
