happy birthday dr. seuss!

if you were anything like me as a kid, you loved books! i still do but find it harder and harder to read as life gets in the way. i can remember sitting in my grandma's lap and reading dr. seuss books as a little girl. it seemed like she had all his books and i could look at them forever. the colors, the rhymes, the creatures! i'm still in love!



here are my fav books by the seuss...



and because dr. seuss is so good at giving me advice for real life, here's an excerpt from oh the places you'll go that's especially relevant to me at the moment.

I’m sorry to say so
but, sadly, it’s true
that Bang-ups
and Hang-ups
can happen to you.

You can get all hung up
in a prickle-ly perch.
And your gang will fly on.
You’ll be left in a Lurch.

You’ll come down from the Lurch
with an unpleasant bump.
And the chances are, then,
that you’ll be in a Slump.

And when you’re in a Slump,
you’re not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself
is not easily done.

But, Somehow you’ll escape

And once more you’ll ride high!
Ready for anything under the sky.

Oh, the places you’ll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.
