This was given to me at work some years ago and I have it pasted onto my desk. It has now been copied and used by other colleagues. Read the whole poem first before you get to the punchline!.

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
Ihad to kill today because they got on my nerves.
And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step
On today as they may be connected to the feet I
May have to kiss tomorrow.
Help me always give 100% at work...
12% on Monday,
23% on Tuesday,
40% on Wednesday,
20% on Thursday,
And 5% on Friday
And 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 to smile and only four to
Extend my arm and smack someone in the mouth!

Anybody else out there identify with the words?? :D
Janet.

I love that one Janet. My mum, who's 79, gave me a copy to put on my desk for those trickier moments :D I think it's great. Sounds like you a feeling a little bit chirpier. Hope you are. Jill x
