INNER STRENGTH

If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,

If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,

If you can overlook when peoople take things out on you when, through no fault of your own, something goes wrong,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

If you can face the world without lies and deceit,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,

If you can relax without liquor,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

Then you are probably a dog.

Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. --Ann Landers.

I wonder what goes through his mind when he sees us peeing in his water bowl. --Penny Ward Moser.

My favorite phrase today is the ace physician. N., got a kidney you can spare? Def.: One who is the fantastic inspirer of hope.
