In these troubled times:
A prayer for the stressed
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I cannot accept,
and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I have killed today
because they got on my nerves.
And help me to be careful of whose toes I step on today
as they may be connected to the feet I may have to kiss tomorrow.
Help me that I may always give 100% at work …
12% on Monday, 23% on Tuesday, 40% on Wednesday,
20% on Thursday and 5% on Friday.
Help me to remember ….
When I’m having a bad day and it seems that people are trying
to wind me up, it takes 42 muscles to frown, 28 muscles to smile
and only four to extend my arm and smack someone in the mouth
