Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

...that's one of my favorite Dr. Suess quotes. My mom bought me most of the Dr. Suess books when I was little, and I remember sitting in my basement reading them over and over again.

Pottery Barn Kids looks to be mainstreaming the Dr. Suess brand with its cute new line of bedroom linens! How cute is this bedroom??? There aren't a lot of cute and not too over-the-top bedroom linens for toddler boys out there - but I think this one would be perfect! Too bad I just redid my little guy's room.
I really don't think about the Dr. Suess books much these days and I never knew then how deep some of his famous quotes really are. I was looking for a fun quote to use as the title to this post and came across a lot of his famous sayings:
  • Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.
  • The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.
  • Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.
  • You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
  • Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
  • You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose.
  • Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try.

  3. Oh yes. Love Dr. Seuss. I used to read Oh, the Places You'll Go! to my senior students every year at the end of the year. And they liked it. I regularly use it for a grad gift! And there were other books that we sometimes used with high school students. The themes are timeless and ageless. Great quotes. Thanks!!

  5. I love that quote. J2's yearbook staff used it on the final page of their book and it was so fitting, as they had such a wonderful class and while they were all excited to be moving on, it was very bittersweet to see it all come to an end. That seemed to sum up their experience perfectly.

Happy Pills

I'm a crazy person. At least, that's what I feel like some times. And it runs in my family. No, not really crazy (and don't take offense if you are one of me), but just clinically depressed and filled with anxiety. It's as if I don't have something to worry about in my head constantly, then I don't feel normal. Luckily, there's a pill for that. It's a bitter pill, one that I'll basically have to take the rest of my life, but I've slowly accepted that it's like any other disease, and just like diabetes or heart disease, that little pill is gonna make me better. But that little pill makes me gain weight, gives me the brain shivers when I miss it, and although I've tried to get off it multiple times, I just can't. So I guess that makes me an addict as well. But it's a pill that my grandparents and family didn't always have, and they suffer from it as well, so I should be thankful for this little red capsule of happiness...
