Oh, the places you'll go!

I has a bit of an epiphany lately. About happiness.

We all know that sometimes life gives you lemons. It can be rubbish. Bad things happen, and then more bad things follow. It can seem never-ending.

But although we cannot always control the outside world. We CAN control how we react to it.

We can decide to be happy. We can have a smiley face.

And we can decide to try our  best to jump over the obstacles and proceed with our goals.

Dr Seuss knows all about this. And after reading his fantabulous book called 'Oh, the places you'll go!' I decided to buy 3 copies. Just 'cus it was so darn good.

I gave a copy to a friend, kept one, and gave one to my daughter Lizzie. I sneakily try to persuade her to 'choose' this book every bedtime for me to read just so I can hear it again. It is full of words of wisdom, and I recommend it to all of you if you are not already the proud owner of this book.

'You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.'

And talking of smiley faces...
