Postcards from the Funny Farm

What a great post I’ve run across tonight to start this new category with. Clicking through my BlogRush widget I was very moved by this blog post:

How to Live a More Fulfilling Life: # The Truth ab...

What follows is an amazing poem from that post. It really helped me put a stressful day into perspective and get in a good mood again. This is definitely the best thing I’ve run across today:

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can’t speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who’s crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to the grave.

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around.
