Today I got embarrassed.

That.... never happens.

And it was for dumb reason too! All I did was sing a hymn while playing tug of war, with a scarf, with my voice teacher, in front of the entire class! Dumb, I tell you. DUMB.

Why did I feel so awfully embarrassed about it all? I know I'm a decent singer. Just because I sounded strange for a couple minutes shouldn't upset me so much. Yet I actually felt myself blush. BLUSH. That... never happens either.

But because of this experience I actually learned of an antidote I have for myself in these situations. As I was walking home tonight in the rain, feeling awfully sorry for myself, I began thinking of things I'm thankful for. Strange, right? But not really. I feel really good now. And I am currently making plans to embarrass my voice teacher BACK next time I sing. Maybe I'll just do really bad on purpose or something.

Attitude of gratitude. Try it.

  1. hahahahahah i don't understand. Don't worry i'm sure you were still cute doing whatever that was supposed to be. In my lit class we are talking a lot about what causes happiness and i've decided that it's just all in your head. You choose you're own happiness. And it's easier to find when you are caring, serving, and hard working. Yay happy!

    Today I: Cloroxed my whole dingy apt. It smells clean now:) and prolly has thousands fewer bugs.
    Had more pcc orientation and training. They take it very seriously over there, it's really a mission opportunity. Everyone knows it's run by the church, so you need to be a witness in everything you do. Even if it's just filling someones water glass.
    I also fell in love with Nate all over again. I like that boy
