Inner Peace

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 anytime,

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 The Family Dog!

Where do they all come from?

On Memorial Day I did a blog post about how amazed I am by the number of visitors to this blog. I suggested a contest for people to guess some of the statistics, but that idea went over like a lead balloon.

So, rather than make it a contest I thought I would share the information. I realize that nobody but me is really interested, but since I have compiled the data I am going to include it here.

So, between April 20 and May 30, 2009 (excluding May 27 due to a technical error), this blog has had 632 readers that have come from:

3 continents
