From My Aunt Eileen

My Aunt Eileen sent me this. Since I gave up coffee for Lent, I was hooked at the first line!




If you can start the day without caffeine,



If you can get going 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 take criticism and live without resentment,


If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him,


If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,


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!
