I’ve never really been one for taking the advice of TV Talk Show Hosts – especially those that dispense psychological insights (babble) and opinions (crap) – but something rang true for me with this email forwarded to me by a friend dispensing the advice of Dr. Phil on achieving inner piece. I am not sure of the original source of this email, but I must applaud them on recognizing sound advice when they heard it.

CALMNESS IN OUR LIVES
I am passing this on to you because it definitely works, and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace.
Dr. Phil proclaimed, ‘The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished.’
So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn’t finished, and before leaving the house this morning , I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey’s Irish Cream, a bottle of Kahula, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how freaking good I feel.
Please pass this on to those whom you think might be in need of inner peace.
So my dear readers, I must now leave you, as I too begin my quest to tranquility. Embracing the advice of the great doctor, I need to be honest about the state of my affairs and I too have things I have started and not finished. Specifically right now these include a bottle of Sanduz Estate Blueberry / Cranberry wine (figure it is always important to experiment with the creations of our local entrepreneurs), a bottle of Merridale Cidar (the large size, of course), a litre of chocolate milk, a bag of crisps (don’t worry – they are both organic and trans fat free), and a couple of nicely marinated slaps of meat. Thinking an early night may be in order after I have achieved inner piece.
Nightie night!
