CONGRATS carolynm1014!!!
Personally, I'm convinced a good/positive attitude is essential for a sweeper.
I know I about went nuts my first 6 months seeing people winning left and right, sometimes the same people over and over for specific IW's, and I couldn't hit a thing. I allowed myself to get bitter and suspicious, which almost ruined sweeping for me. Plus, always thinking the worst of others made me a negative person, and as a "fixer" type, who hates dissension, it was really messing me up!!!
When I finally realized it was all in the timing/luck of the draw, my attitude changed & I have had a wonderful time enjoying all of the aspects of this wonderful hobby for over 10 years now!!!
