  2. Good advice. I need to put some of these into practice more... Well, the giggling part I'll have to work on when I'm on my own... in a locked room... that's sound-proofed.

  4. #1,#2, and #4 are difficult, especially if you're an angsty-teen like me. But then again, being angsty-teen must mean I'm always looking for something else in life which is probably why i can't enjoy it right now.

  5. I don't giggle, I chuckle.

    And this post made me smile, not grin like an idiot.

  10. Thank you for the reminder! I'm struggling with some of these lately but I need to remember that things could always be worse. Number 7 is my favorite. Sometimes my focus is on those who have hurt my feelings when I should just enjoy the fact that I'm blessed to have so many who love me. Love and Hugs to you Nubian!
