Everyday I get these Inspiration messages in my e-mail box and I usually don't pay attention to them. But today's message carried a little political clout. I thought it was something to think about as this 2012 campaign is getting heated. The author and the time frame are very similar to what is happening to the GOP now.

It's easy to grin
When your ship comes in
And everyone likes you a lot.
But the man who's worthwhile
Is the one who can smile
When his briefs creep up in a knot.

If one is not, occasionally, able to remove themselves from--ongoing stressful situations or individuals--if one is unable to recognize a break is necessary, regardless the circumstance, they will never survive.
