Being Childlike

I stayed home from work today, to try and kick this whole dizziness thing.  For the most part I'm feeling much better, but I comes and goes, so tomorrow may be a different story.  While I was home I watched Harriet the Spy (on of my favorite childhood movies), Clifford (with Martin Short, not the big red dog), The Lorax, The Voice, and my Face Off (the TV show about movie makeup, not the Nicholas Cage movie.)  While watching Harriet the Spy it really made me think of how much I miss being a kid.  While watching The Lorax it reminded my why I love Dr. Seuss so much! Dr. Seuss was a HUGE part of my childhood.  Books were the main thing around our house and RL Stine and Dr Seuss were the favorites.  My grandma had almost every Dr. Seuss book published, AND in 6th grade and my Sophomore year of college I wrote reports on Dr. Seuss.  His use of words and his imagination just suck me right in.  My favorite book is "There's a Wocket in My Pocket",  I just love the words he made up to rhyme with things around a house.  Dr. Seuss was such a genius and his books will forever be loved by people of all ages.  So I was already thinking about Dr. Seuss and the challenge on Face Off today, is a DR. SEUSS CHALLENGE!  What are the chances of that?!!  So today I have just really been thinking about what makes being a child so wonderful.  As a child you can pretend to be ANYONE or ANYTHING, you never care what everyone else thinks, and innocence is your best friend.  I wish today's young people would stop trying to grow up so fast and just enjoy being a child.  It really is the best thing in the world.  When I start having kids my goal is to encourage them to stay childlike! 

Until next time...Psalm 127:3 


Dr Seuss:
*“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”

*"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because 

         reality is finally better than your dreams."

*“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a 

        necessary ingredient in living.”

*"A person's a person, no matter how small.”

*“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,


        Nothing is going to get better. It's not.” 

*“Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of 

looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.”

*“From there to here, from here to there, funny things are 

      everywhere!”

*"If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, just go 

       right along and you'll start happening too.”

*“You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your 

       mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!"

*“Be awesome! Be a book nut!” 

*“So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is 

         making a chore for the reader who reads.”

*“You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut."

*“Why fit in when you were born to stand out?”
