Default Words to ponder

If you can start the day without caffeine, if you can get along without
pep pills, if you can always 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 your loved ones are too busy to give you any time, if you
can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, though no fault
of yours, something goes wrong,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment, if you can ignore
a friend's limited education and never correct him/her, if you can resist
treating a rich friend better than a poor friend, 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 honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice
against creed, color, religion or politics.

Then, my friend, you are ALMOST as good as your dog.

Don't forget church. Nothing puts it right like a stick of graphite bent in a semicircle and a singing reel ..........

Church - O - Bent - Rod

Wow Jen! I ditto Newtrons thoughts, dislike job, oldest son just moved out on his own. Many mixed thoughts. Those words kinda make you get back to thinking alittle more positive. I think Pilars church would help more then anything. Need to feel that rod with a fish at the end of the line in my hand again.
