Inner Peace:

If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
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.... the family dog!
