Quote: Whistling for a Friend

Good quote from Thoreau, much more interesting analogy than making lemonade from lemons.

When a dog runs at you, whistle for him.

Also, good advice about making friends and meeting people. Denise is trying to teach this skill to Isaac; I'm not very good at it myself (but we make a good team). from Stuff No One Told Me.

I'm totally not so good at it, either! Hello is a most powerful word. Michael and Denise are both so great at it--we can definitely learn from them. :)

I do try to be good at this because I've seen shy people suffer when they can't say hello--I do have to work at it since I'm basically shy. No kidding!Mom
