Inner Strength

Someone said you truly have inner strength if you could do all of the following.

• If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
• If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time, (this is a tough one)
• If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
• If you can conquer tension without medical help,
• If you can relax without adult beverages,
• If you can sleep without the aid of drugs

Joke of the Day

Coach Jones called the young lad in from center field during a Little League game for a conference.

"Yes, sir," replied Larry.

"Well, then Larry," sighed Coach Jones, "would you please try to explain it to your mother?"
