Inner strength

[misskellibad1]

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 everyday and be grateful

for it,

If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to

give you time,

If you can overlook when people take things out on

you when,

through no fault of yours, 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,

If you can do all these things,

Then you are probably the family dog.
