Oh the places you'll go!

Last night my sister gave the most wonderful gift in the world...a story! We're so silly when we get together but it's the best. I love her with all my heart (Thanks Lis). If you haven't read this book you should. It's brilliant in a simple kind of way, one that will make you laugh and make you cry, remember the dreams of being a kid and the ones to come.
Today is yes my birthday but also the beginning of a great adventure with God this month. We're going to England! I can't wait to eat cake and drink tea:)
Here's a peek:

"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'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 your too smart to go down any not-so-good street....

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 when 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!

You'll be on your way up!
You'll be great sights!
You'll join the high fliers who soar to great heights.

The waiting place...NO! That's not for you!
Somehow you'll escape all that waiting and staying.
You'll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing.....

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

And you will succeed?
Yes, You will, indeed!..
KID, YOU"LL MOVES MOUNTAINS!

So....get on your way! "
