when you are able to make it through the day without dependence on alcohol, drugs, or caffein,
when you are able to ignore aches and pain and still present a cheerful disposition to the world,
when you are able to refrain from boring people with your worries and troubles,
when you are able to enjoy the same food every day and still give thanks for it,
when you are able to understand those who love you may not have the time for you
when you want their attention,
when you are able to accept blame and criticism without feeling resentful,
when you are able to win out over stress without the need for medication,
relax by just curling up with a good book,
sleep without a prescription for sleeping pills,
and when you are able to comfort yourself by simply licking your own balls,
then you must be . . .
. . . my dog, before his visit to the vet!
Asleep at last
