I may be spending way too much time with preschoolers, but I found the following passage in one of my kids' Dr. Seuss books to be appropos here:
Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you! Shout loud "I am lucky to be what I am! Thank goodness I'm not just a clam or a ham! Or a dusty old jar of sour gooseberry jam! I am what I am! That's a great thing to be! If I say so myself, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!"
that's just perfect. I love Dr. Seuss. My favorite Dr. S book is "I had trouble getting to Solla Sollew", "where they have no troubles or at least very few.." great book for alcoholics
Hope your day was great! I just know you miss all my jokes!!!! Im done.....FOR NOW!!!!!!!
May each day be filled with green eggs and ham!!!
