What a wonderful quotation, Jeanette!

To clarify about self-fulling prophesies. I do not mean to give the impression that I think I can fool Mother Nature. On another level, however, one can be so afraid of failing a test, that even with careful preparation, that person will fail. To believe in a positive outcome will not guarantee such outcome, but it will allow the believer to be happily free of stess and that old nemesis, fear. I am aware that there are some things that are out of my hands (which does not mean that I like it!) but I CAN choose to be happy, and I do. And I hope you all are too.
