My favorite Dr. Suess book is "Oh! The Places You'll Go" It just has an amazing message to it. And it was my favorite graduation present, including my car and laptop. (Thanks to my second mom Tiffany Miller:)) We read it every year at state winter guard championships. It was my favorite part of the whole season. We all sat there and sobbed because we knew it was the end. Well... After all that babbling. My favorite part of the entire book... well one of the many, is when it says "Except when they don’t. Because, sometimes, they won’t. I’m afraid that some times you’ll play lonely games too. Games you can’t win ‘cause you’ll play against you.
All Alone!
Whether you like it or not, Alone will be something you’ll be quite a lot.
And when you’re alone, there’s a very good chance you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants. There are some, down the road between hither and yon, that can scare you so much you won’t want to go on."
Well, this past week I have been alone quite alot. And needless to say... I don't like it. I don't like feeling like I have nobody there to listen to me or a shoulder to cry on. I know I have people there for me... but it seems like they are only there in bad times.. Not the good as well. This is just me complaining. I know... Happens alot. But what gives me hope.. is this book goes on to state "But on you will go though the weather be foul. On you will go though your enemies prowl. On you will go though the Hakken-Kraks howl. Onward up many a frightening creek, though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak. On and on you will hike. And I know you’ll hike far and face up to your problems whatever they are." So on I will go. Onward and upward. I will face my problems and succeed. 98 and 3/4th's precent garunteed! :) everyone should own this book! It gives you hope that you will make it through those rough patches. No matter what they are!
