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 blame without
resentment,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can
relax without alcohol,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!
