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..........
Then you are
probably the family dog.
