things that made me laugh out loud today

1. "Because I don't like to recommend any self-help method that I haven't tried myself, I performed a 'Shame-Attacking' Exercise one summer while on vacation.... I put on a cowboy hat and dark glasses and got on a crowded elevator with my two children. Then, at every floor, from the 12th floor down, I called out the numbers. 

I had to force myself to blurt out, 'This is floor number eleven,' because I told myself, 'My gosh! What will all these people think of me?' ... People began to chuckle more and more at each floor as I continued to announce, '10th floor... 9th floor....' By the time we reached the main floor, everyone was laughing and giggling....

Other Shame-Attacking Exercises could include: Go into a crowded store and announce the time of day. You can say, 'It is now 3:42 pm.' Wait for a moment until people have turned to stare at you. Then repeat the time loudly and clearly." (He goes on to list more ideas.)

    That picture is really like a "Where's Waldo"...because I wouldn't have ever seen the hairclip if you had not pointed it out. Praying for you Hannah! :)
