I read in the paper this morning that Canada is the 3rd most stressed out country in the world. That's kinda sad, isn't it? Only the Portugese and Americans are more stressed than us Canucks in the whole entire world.
It's also somewhat surprising, considering our tendency towards an easy-going, polite nature. (Of course, I think that's one of those generalizations about Canadians that just ain't true, but that's neither here nor there.)
So, to get my fellow Canadian readers into a relaxed state of mind, I offer you this collection of thoughts:
"Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles." ~Charlie Chaplin
"Sometimes the cure for restlessness is rest." ~Colleen Wainwright
"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials." ~Lin Yutang
"There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace. You will find that deep place of silence right in your room, your garden or even your bathtub." ~Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Sorry to hear that. We're definitely nuts down here.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the good company my little quote finds itself in, though. That's somewhat de-stressing.
