But deep breathing in the check out line gets you too much attention.<br />The stopping and thinking about it does work well. Just like the old count to ten, you need to think and not just react. Of course as you say it is a work in progress and easier to say than do.<br />Good luckBill Lislemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187273560129198423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-89575120125931524132013-11-12T07:45:02.316-05:002013-11-12T07:45:02.316-05:00Barb- Yep.
