THE EASY OF IMBECIL


′′ They say that in a small town, a group of people had fun with the local ′′ moron ", a poor guy, of ′′ low intelligence ", who lived doing small tasks and asking for handouts.
Everyday, some men called the ′′ stupid ′′ to the bar where they were and offered to choose between two coins: one large, lesser, and the other lesser, worth five times as much.
He always took the biggest and the least valuable, which was a laugh for everyone.
One day, someone watching the group's fun with the ′′ innocent ′′ man, called him aside and asked him if he hadn't realized that the bigger coin was worth less and he replied:
′′ I know, I'm not that stupid. She's worth five times less, but the day I choose the other one, the game ends and I'm not going to win any coins anymore."
This story could end here, as a simple joke, but several conclusions we can draw from this fable:
The first: who looks like an idiot isn't always.
The second: who were the real idiots of history?
The third: excessive ambition can end the source of income.
But the most interesting conclusion is:
1° - We can be fine, even when others don't have a good opinion about ourselves;
2° - What matters is not what others think of us, but what everyone thinks of themselves;
3° - The real smart man is the one who appears to be an idiot in front of an idiot who appears to be intelligent!

• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions
For the chicken
1. Place each piece of chicken in between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with the flat end of a meat mallet to create thin cutlets.

8. Remove the chicken from the pan and cover to keep warm. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.

For the sauce
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan over medium heat. Add the lemon slices. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until lemon slices have browned. Remove the lemon slices from the pan.
2. Add the rest of the butter to the pan, and cook until melted. Add the flour and cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
3. Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and simmer for an additional 4-5 minutes or until sauce has just thickened.
4. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
