: : : Oh oh. Scary thought. You and I are alike? I used to have the same one on my desk. Along with "I am an American Paratrooper. I travel to exotic places, meet interesting people, and kill them"
: : : Of course, those were in my somewhat less sedentary, scholarly days!!
: : : GnomeDome
: : This is REALLY scary. Seems great minds think alike...I had the same serenity prayer on my desk at my old job. Along with a button that read "I've got a case of Scotch and a crate of Uzis...let's go to Disneyland!"

Ok, gotta join in with this one! My refrigerator (nearest thing to an office) is covered with various written thoughts and ideas - but this one is the nearest to all of yours.......
ANTI-STRESS EXERCISE
1. Picture yourself near a stream.
2. Birds chirping in the crisp, cool mountain air.
3. Nothing can bother you here.
4. You are in total seclusion from the place called 'this world'.
5. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
6. The water is clear.
7. In fact, it is so clear that you can easily make out the face of the person whose head you are holding under the water.
8. There now.........feeling better?
Tee-hee
