“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
Today is Dr. Seuss's Birthday Encourage your Child to READ and I encourage you to SPREAD a little Dr. Seuss ♥ today!!
“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
Dr. Seuss would have been 107 today. He made us smile, he made us laugh, but mostly and mostly of all he just made us think!!!
“Look at me!
Look at me!
Look at me NOW!
It is fun to have fun
But you have
to know how.”
Theodore Seuss Geisel, the name itself sounds like something out of one's imagination. He never recieved his Phd, but a doctor he became. They say laughter is the best medicine and it was the constant prescription from Dr. Seuss. He prescribed things like being yourself, finding love, obeying your parents, and EXPLORING YOUR WORLD!
Oh, the Places You'll Go!
"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
Any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And
you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who’ll
decide where to go."
"You’ll get mixed up,
of course, as you
already know.
You’ll get mixed up
with many strange birds
as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great
tact and remember that...
...Life’s A Great
Balancing Act."
"And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and ¾ percent
guaranteed.)
KID, YOU’LL MOVE
MOUNTAINS!"
Dr.Seuss made reading fun! He made it so we didn't want it to get done! So, today if you are a parent find one a round, an old dr. Seuss book can be found! Give it another round! You'll like the way it will SOUND!
“Do you like green
eggs and ham?”
“I do not like them,
Sam-I-am.
I do not like green
eggs and ham!”
"Would you like them
here or there?"
"I would not like them
here or there.
I would not like them
anywhere."
Green Eggs and Ham
“I do so like green
eggs and ham!
Thank you!
Thank you,
Sam-I-am!”
Here's to you Theodore Seuss Geisel
"If we didn’t have birthdays,
you wouldn’t be you.
If you’d never been born,
well then what would you do?
If you’d never been born,
well then what would you be?
You might be a fish!
Or a toad in a tree!
You might be a doorknob!
Or three baked potatoes!
You might be a bag full of
hard green tomatoes."
"Or worse than all that…Why,
you might be a WASN’T!
A Wasn’t has no fun at all.
No, he doesn’t.
A Wasn’t just isn’t.
He just isn’t present.
But you…You ARE YOU!
And, now isn’t that pleasant!"
"Today you are you!
That is truer than true!
There is no one alive...
..who is you-er than you!
Shout loud, “I am lucky
to be what I am!
Thank goodness I’m not
just a clam or a ham
Or a dusty old jar of
sour gooseberry jam!
I am what I am! That’s a
great thing to be!
If I say so myself,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!”

"Oh the places you'll go" was gifted to every graduate of high school by my mother (a special education teacher). Also, a note on the side, recently we lost the last WWI vet, at 110 years young. Let us remember our poets, writers, and also our countries protectors....
