Inner Peace: This is so true
If you can start the day without caffeine,
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 liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
....Then You Are Probably ..........

I knew when I read that "same food every day line" we had to be talking about the dog.
ReplyDeleteNope. I didn't think spiritual, but you surprised me with the dog.
ReplyDeleteHa, great, I am definitely NOT the family dog.;)
ReplyDeleteI am back from my vacation, hope you have been well.;)) Have a great weekend,
xoxo

ReplyDeletequilly: I was slower than you when I first read it.
ReplyDeleteAlice Audrey: I thought spiritual as my sender is always trying to reform me.
Zuzana: I’ll be by to read about it. I’m sure I will see lovely pictures.
Brian Miller: The ideal dog’s life does sound wonderful sometimes. You enjoy, too.
I've often said that I would love to come back as a pampered pooch. Our dog, Taz, has it is so good there are times when my life is frazzled and I look over to see her lounging on the couch or playing with her toys and I envy her!
ReplyDeleteThere are nuggets of wisdom there - I need to remember the 'take criticism and blame without resentment' and 'always be cheerful'.
Thanks for this, Nessa :)
You got me. Didn't see the dog coming. I can't possibly be the only one :)
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm jealous on top of all my other faults because that dog is way cuter than me!
ReplyDeleteOr cat, lol !
ReplyDeleteah - i love that picture - this dog seems to have a fantastic life…
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend!
It is far from my hopes to achieve most of these, but my dog has them down pat. Maybe there is a wee spiritual lesson in here after all...
ReplyDelete*spews my woo woo all over my keyboard ROFLMAO!!! Too funny :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny. I was reading it thinking I can't do half of those things! I never expected it to be the dog.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a dog, but a kitten sounds like her too. :)
Thanks for sharing.
Seen it and y'know what? It never grows old!
ReplyDeleteI was a goner at If you can start the day without caffeine!
ReplyDelete<><
Can't get by without caffiene. This was so cute. Awh...that makes me love my dogs all the more. They keep us going.
ReplyDeleteyep, the food line made me think this must be about a pet... but it was an enjoyable read :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha.. so funny. I didn't think it was a dog...
ReplyDeleteI learned that from Icy, poverty and old age.
ReplyDeleteu do make me smile!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun post.
You definitely made me laugh because I was sure you were going spiritual. I stopped dead at the first one about getting up without coffee.
ReplyDeleteBut they have their revenge - chewing shoes, digging int he garden, barking at all hours. I think it evens out.
ReplyDeleteI loved this and didn't click at all. You got me at caffiene. I was thinking who in their right mind would start the day without caffiene?
ReplyDeleteHaha good one, the poor old dog doesn't ask for much but just gives and gives.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I didn't see that coming. Great laugh for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteJanet: Our dog has it really good, too. I often think I want to be him and then I think I would be very bored.
ReplyDeletejill conyers: When I first read it, I didn’t think dog either.
Doll Mistress: He is cute but that’s not your fault.
Gattina: Yes, cats have it pretty good, too.
Claudia: I’d love to be able to just let go like that for a few minutes each day.
Jeanie: We can always try to reach one or two of these.
Thom: The woo woo’s will help be like the dog. Clean up that mess.
Sue: I can’t begin to come near any f these but I’m not someone’s pet, either.
Cheryl: They do make the rounds but still give a chuckle.
Noe Noe Girl...A Queen of all Trades.: I can’t start without my morning coffee.
Finding Pam: I do need my caffine, too. My puppy is napping as we speak.
juliana: The food part really made me feel bad for my dog.
Eden: I thought it was going to be some hermit.
Tom & Icy: Icy was a wise and beautiful puppy.
Jingle: I am glad you had a grin.
agrigirl: So many of us got stuck on the first one. We wouldn’t make good pets or aesthetics.
secret agent woman: I never thought about their revenge. They are not as innocent as we might think.
Shelley Munro: I certainly wouldn’t be in my right mind. I’d be of a sluggish, dull mind.
Glennis: They certainly give me than they get.
Rosidah Abidin: I am liking a Saturday chuckle.
I've always thought aches and pains are easy to ignore if one remains cheerful.
ReplyDeletekaren a.: There is truth in what you say.
ReplyDeleteThat was hysterical!
ReplyDeleteSandy Carlson: Yes it was.
ReplyDeleteI HEART this!!! lol ...soo true. I think I'm going to have to link to this on my blog - it's perfect for my daily diary. :) Thanks!
