Read this to my daughter yesterday, by Dr. Seuss
Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself and direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who'll dicide where to go.
You'll look up and down streets. Look'em over with care. About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there." With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to do down any not-so-goo street.

You'll be on your way up! You'll be seeing great sights! You'll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.

Except when you don't. Because, sometimes, you won't.
I'm sorry to say so but, sadly, it's true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you.
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.

You can get so confused that you'll start in to race down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space, headed, I fear, toward a most useless place. The Waiting Place...
...for people just waiting. Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come, or the rain to go or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow or waiting around for a Yes or No ....skip...or Another Chance. Everyone is just waiting.
NO! That's not for you! Somehow you'll escape all that waiting and staying. You'll find bright places where Boom Bands are playing.
It goes on but these parts really struck me.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Dr. Seuss. It is amazing when you take some of it out of context how deep and direct it can get.
Thanks for the post.
It was read during my high school graduation too. I always like Dr Seuss.
