We get into this vortex of low expectations and lower rewards and pretty soon we're not getting anything done at all. Like so many things, it's about finding a healthy balance, I guess.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-79387646843687215442012-06-26T23:20:05.279-04:002012-06-26T23:20:05.279-04:00That sounds pretty wise, Mark.

I get disappointed in the Giants once in a while, but as long as I am doing the best I can, I lay off the disappointment. Life can be hard enough as it is, without adding consequences for self-assessment to the package. Hope all is well with you and yours.Mark O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295762252612104201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-71370463609534290302012-06-23T15:52:45.161-04:002012-06-23T15:52:45.161-04:00Pain is a sign you're still alive and consciou...Pain is a sign you're still alive and conscious. :)Larissa T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18054129254135419707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-4493679796425064162012-06-23T12:22:37.070-04:002012-06-23T12:22:37.070-04:00I have to share this with my own daughter.
