A sampling of my personal beatitudes: 1. Blessed are those who are easily satisfied and have few expectations, for they shall rarely want or be disappointed. 2. Blessed are those who take anything anyone says as a compliment, for they shall always have friends. 3. Blessed are those who are flexible, for they shall not get bent out of shape. . 4. Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused. 5. Blessed are those who are slightly cracked, for only they can truly let in the light.
