Why I Am So Tired!!! 

For a couple of years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep, not enough sunshine, too much pressure from my job, earwax build-up, poor blood or anything else I could think of. 

But now I found out the real reason: 

I'm tired because I'm overworked. 

Here's why: The population of this country is 273 million. 

140 million are retired, which leaves 133 million to do the work. 

There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work. 

Of this, there are 29 million employed by the federal government,  which leaves 19 million to do the work. 

2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Bin Laden, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work. 

Take from that total the 14,800,000 people 

who work for state and city governments   

and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work. 

At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, which leaves 1,212,000 to do the work. 

As of today, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. 

That leaves JUST TWO PEOPLE to do the work... 

YOU and ME!!

And there you are sitting on your chair, at your computer, your tab, your phone reading jokes and celebrity gist and sports news.   

Nice, real nice...

God bless you.

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
