Surviving The Rat Race with Dr. Seuss

Photograph taken at Fingerhut Gallery of Laguna Beach

“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


When I get stressed I force myself to stop... take a deep breath... and read...
Dr. Seuss.  Yes, the good Doctor knew how to cure what ails me. 
 
Ever since I was a child reading Green Eggs and Ham, I recognized that this guy really knows what he is talking about.  And now, even as an adult with a career, I realize that for every stress, every problem that seem unsolvable, ever God-Aweful moment, the man had words of wisdom that can get me through the tough times.

“You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left.”
Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You’ll Go!: Yellow Back Book

“Oh, the jobs people work at! Out west near Hawtch-Hawtch there's a Hawtch-Hawtcher bee watcher, his job is to watch. Is to keep both his eyes on the lazy town bee, a bee that is watched will work harder you see. So he watched and he watched, but in spite of his watch that bee didn't work any harder not mawtch. So then somebody said "Our old bee-watching man just isn't bee watching as hard as he can, he ought to be watched by another Hawtch-Hawtcher! The thing that we need is a bee-watcher-watcher!". Well, the bee-watcher-watcher watched the bee-watcher. He didn't watch well so another Hawtch-Hawtcher had to come in as a watch-watcher-watcher! And now all the Hawtchers who live in Hawtch-Hawtch are watching on watch watcher watchering watch, watch watching the watcher who's watching that bee. You're not a Hawtch-Watcher you're lucky you see!”
Dr. Seuss, Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?

 For when I reatire:
“~I love my job. I love the pay!
~I love it more and more each day.
~I love my boss, he is the best!
~I love his boss and all the rest.

~I love my office and its location. I hate to have to go on vacation.
~I love my furniture, drab and grey, and piles of paper that grow each day!
~I think my job is swell, there's nothing else I love so well.
~I love to work among my peers, I love their leers, and jeers, and sneers.
~I love my computer and its software; I hug it often though it won't care.
~I love each program and every file, I'd love them more if they worked a while.

~I'm happy to be here. I am. I am.
~I'm the happiest slave of the Firm, I am.
~I love this work. I love these chores.
~I love the meetings with deadly bores.
~I love my job - I'll say it again - I even love those friendly men.
~Those friendly men who've come today, in clean white coats to take me away!!!!!”
Dr. Seuss

Spiritual and Inspirational Sunday

Philippians 4:6-7Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Spiritual and Inspirational Sunday

Today marks 3 weeks before our big move to Palm Springs, CA.  I am very excited about the opportunities that lay before me and the chance to move to an area of the United States that I have always dreamed about.  While we are managing the move it can be a little stressful but I am happily embarking on another adventure in my life.   You cannot achieve greatness or live your life to its full measure without taking risks.  And most of all I have faith; faith that God would not plant a seed without giving me the means to grow it. 

Thank You Lord for my dreams, for the chance to pursue my dreams and for showing me how to achieve my dreams.  And Lord, thank You for all of the miracles You have given me when I haven't had the ability to achieve these dreams without Your Divine intervention. Amen

"Life is full of beauty.  Notice it.  Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces.  Smell the rain, and feel the wind.  Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams."  ~Ashley Smith
