"I'm afraid that some times
you'll play lonely games too.
Games you can't win
'cause you'll play against you.

All Alone!
Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something
you'll be quite a lot.

And when you're alone, there's a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.

But on you will go
though the weather be foul.
On you will go
though your enemies prowl
On you will go
though the Hakken-Kraks howl.
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get tired
and your sneakers may leak.

On and on you will hike.
And I know you'll hike far
and face up your problems
whatever they are."

-Dr. Seuss, "Oh, the Places You'll Go"

I am of a firm belief that the secret to life and happiness can all be found in Dr. Seuss books.

right around this time, i was setting up the room for my boys.
and the theme was the ultimate road trip.
but i took alot of the quotes from the book 'oh the places you'll go' and hung them from the walls and on the door.

its nice to know its still such a beloved book- and that we were both thinking of them together!

Awesome!

Collective consciousness all the way.

We're just on the same "level" hehehe.

Eden is a HUGE fan of it. I think it's the longest book she's actually sit through me reading. She LOVES reading, but if the book is too long, she'll jump up and grab another.

Hope camp was wonderful. Let me know how everything went!

Haha, I have only read a few Dr Seuss books. They are very odd in the best way

I think it definitely suits graduation.

It's just such a good book about life in general I think.
