Have you found your inner peace?

My boss - a positive, professional, motivating leader - sent this checklist out to staff this morning.  It outlines the "symptoms of inner peace."  I smiled a bit as I read through the list.  Some of these are familiar symptoms, and some I definitely have yet to achieve.  Here's to wishing you each some inner peace during this holiday weekend!

The Symptoms of Inner Peace
