Haha you are a glass full kind of person eh?  I am more of the avoiding failure persuasion.  But the class is neither half full nor half empty - its twice as big as it needs to be.  Thanks for the tips!

Oh, yeah, I'm definitely an optimist.  One of my mantras is "They will pry my rose-colored glasses from my cold, dead hands."  Not to say that I'm not also a realist, but I do try to look at things in a positive light.  That has served me well for many years, and I hope it continues to do so for many years to come!   Anyway, hope you find the tips helpful - good luck on your continuing journey!

Hi, Lori.  I'm glad you found this helpful.  I already use some of these tips, but will keep this around when for the times when I'm struggling to stay on track.   Kellie
