Attitude Tips

Life really is a good place to be visiting. Force yourself to notice the sunshine, the fall leaves, the chirping birds.

In this book that I read (and am re-reading) by a sexual addiction therapist called "The First Day of the Rest of My Life", this woman goes about a tremendous life-changing day-at an amusement park.
