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

any direction you choose.

You're on your own. And you know what you know.

And YOU are the guy who'll decide 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 go down any not-so-good street.

And you may not find any

you'll want to go down.

In that case, of course,

you'll head straight out of town.

It's opener there

in the wide open air.

Out there things can happen

and frequently do

to people as brainy

and footsy as you.

And then things start to happen,

don't worry. Don't stew.

Just go right along.

You'll start happening too.

OH!

THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

"From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere."

Quote - Dr. Seuss

Nod to Dr Seuss

“If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good” Dr Seuss

Thing One and Thing Two are twins from The Cat in the Hat book. They were released from the box that the cat brought in to introduce to Conrad, Sally and the fish.

quote DrSeuss

for those waiting for Spring

I think laughter is the best medicine. If you can’t laugh at yourself, then you can’t laugh at life and the silliness of it all.

David Hasselhoff

There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.

Charles Dickens

A good time to laugh is any time you can.

Linda Ellerbee

A wonderful thing about true laughter is that it just destroys any kind of system of dividing people.

John Cleese

A day without laughter is a day wasted.

Charlie Chaplin

Life is better when you’re laughing.

Anon

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.

Victor Hugo

Of all days, the day on which one has not laughed is the one most surely wasted.

Sebastien Roch

A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never cease to be amused.

Shirley MacLaine

Laughter is wine for the soul - laughter soft, or loud and deep, tinged through with seriousness - the hilarious declaration made by man that life is worth living.

Sean O'Casey

A smile starts on the lips, a grin spreads to the eyes, a chuckle comes from the belly; but a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, overflows, and bubbles all around.

Carolyn Birmingham

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.

W. H. Auden

From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.

Dr. Seuss

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

Mother Teresa

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

Dr. Seuss

The only thing that really matters is spreading love and light and acceptance and unity throughout the entire world in any way that you possibly can.

Willow Smith

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

...It's night before it's afternoon. December's here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?~Dr Seuss.

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy

Snaggy, shaggy, ratsy, matsy

Oily, greasy, fleecy

Shining, gleaming, streaming

Flaxen, waxen

...Smile on Saturday

*Working Towards a Better World

The Ultimate lesson

all of us have to learn is

unconditional love,

which includes not only others,

but ourselves as well. -

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word. -

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Love is an unconditional commitment to an imperfect person. To love somebody isn’t just a strong feeling. It is a decision, a judgement and a promise. - Anon

You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. - Dr. Seuss

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear. - John Lennon

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️

SmileCreated for Artistic Manipulation Group's MIXMASTER CHALLENGE #67

CHEF brillianthues wants us to have fun creating a scrapbooking-style collage. Here are some examples of what she has in mind.

➤ Your background must be patterned or textured or both.

➤ The focus must be a woman or man in black and white.

➤ You must use text as an artistic design element.

➤ Include one or more flowers and/or birds and/or butterflies.

➤ NO facsimiles of people (mannequins, aliens, statues).

All images are mine except the maps and toucans, flowers from PicMonkey, the maps in all honesty I don't know where I got them from, I just used the outline of Brazil and added my own art to it..

The words come from

Dr. Seuss

"smile on saturday"

"words of love"

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

Downtown Abilene, TX has quite a few Dr. Seuss statues (as well as other children book statues throughout town)

I just noticed that i have been a bit "heavy" the last 2 days, I guess a trip to DC war memorial will do that to you..

So lets lighten the mood a bit with a cool cat with a crazy top hat and some bumpin big bokeh )

Dr. Seuss, Seussical

*Working Towards a Better World

Logic will get you from A to B.

Imagination will take you everywhere. - Albert Einstein

Laughter is timeless.

Imagination has no age.

Dreams are forever. - J.M. Barrie,

Tinker Bell

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities. - Dr. Seuss

(I know that I have used this before but I so love the quote)!

Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. - Louisa May Alcott

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere. -

Carl Sagan

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. - Francis of Assisi

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.-

Helen Keller

Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too. -

Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.” -Vincent van Gogh

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️

*Working Towards a Better World

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not. Dr. Seuss, The Lorax

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding. - Albert Einstein

If you want to end the war then Instead of sending guns, send books. Instead of sending tanks, send pens. Instead of sending soldiers, send teachers. -

Malala Yousafzai (17 year-old Noble Peace Laureate)

To replace the old paradigm of war with a new paradigm of waging peace, we must be pioneers who can push the boundaries of human understanding. We must be doctors who can cure the virus of violence. We must be soldiers of peace who can do more than preach to the choir. And we must be artists who will make the world our masterpiece. - Paul Chappell

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜

When we moved to southern Connecticut, New London was having a hard time. There were a lot of empty buildings on its main street, but also several cool murals around town. Maybe they gave someone the idea to add some cool art to the boarded up windows on the Bank Street building above. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an artist name or signature. From a quick online search, it looks like the building is till there, still empty, and still for sale - but with some of the window panels moved and missing. Just for info, this building is a couple doors down from the Hollywood murals I posted a while ago:

He made them out of plywood and then painted them.

"The more that you Read, the more things you will know. The more that you Learn, the more places you will Go." Dr Seuss

Inspired by Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax.

This LEGO model recreates the distinctive Once-ler house as seen in the 2012 film adaptation. I wanted to capture the tall, slightly crooked structure and the whimsical architecture that makes the house so memorable.

The build focuses on the unusual stacked design, with curved white walls rising up through several levels, each connected by small balconies and platforms. The sloping orange roof and narrow chimney help emphasise the playful, exaggerated style typical of the world of Dr. Seuss.

Small details such as the hanging bucket, patched wooden boards, flower pots, and railings help give the building a slightly worn and lived-in appearance.

Thanks for looking!

I just read this quote in a book I am reading by Abbi Glines, and broke out in tears. The book is called Existence and the reason I am reading it is because I liked a series of hers, so decided to read all of her books. Seeing this quote, along with the context of the scene in the book, broke my heart, and made me smile....

A.B.S. Snorter and his Lego brick sorter,

Will suck up your bricks and do other neat tricks.

He'll place them in bins with nothing but grins,

And sort them by color for only a dollar.

But be careful my friend with the money you spend,

For if it is A.B.S. Snorter you decide to employ,

He may run away with your most precious toy.

Missed reading these books to my boys, they were always fun to read.

dr seuss

i had to do an errand

had to pick a peck of snide

in a dark and gloomy snide field

that was almost 9 miles wide

i said i do not fear those pants

with nobody inside them

i said and said and said those words

i said them, but i lied them

and there i was caught in the snide

and in that dreadful place

those spooky empty pants and i

were standing face to face

i yelled for help, i screamed, i shrieked

i howled, i yowled, i cried.

oh save me from those pale green pants

with nobody inside them.

but then a strange thing happened

why those pants began to cry

those pants began to tremble

they were just as scared as i

i never heard such whimpering

and i began to see

that i was just as strange to them

as they were strange to me.

i put my arm around their waist

and sat right down beside them

i calmed them down

poor empty pants

with nobody inside them

and now we meet quite often

those empty pants and i

and we never shake or tremble

we both smile and we say

hi

from a book by dr. seuss that scared me to death as a child. these desert trees brought back memories of the snide field

TRP ~ Dr. Seuss.

I had an internal battle cos FGR was painted on faces. And not everyone is as brilliant as Joel and can incorporate the two.

So being that I have a closet chock full of primarily stripes - meh. Easy Cheese.

I have soooo much to do, so although I'd love to stay and babble on for hours - my house simply refuses to clean itself. So dang it.

Random Fact de jour: I utterly adore Dr. Seuss, and I lived for Cat in the Hat. Though, secretly, I always sided with the fish.

I'm sort of anal retentive about a messy house.

Even as a kid.

My favorite Dr. Seuss book...doesn't it look like she is actually reading?

Favors were kites, wrapped in coordinating wrapping paper and included the child's first initial. Each had a copy of the page where Thing 1 and Thing 2 run through the house with their kites.

Audrey is turning two tomorrow. My folks sent her this awesome chair. We let her open it early because we were already on a video chat with them -- it was fun. Clearly she loves it... thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
