and the day 

you find out why."

Daily effort...

When you have a goal, 
but it seems hard to reach...

make it your desire 
to put the effort it deserves

towards the outcome of that goal, 
every day!

“Today is your day!…

Your mountain is waiting. So…

get on your way.”  

~Dr. Seuss

Theodor Seuss Geisel ( /ˈɡaɪzəl/; March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991) was an American writer, poet, and cartoonist most widely known for his children's books written under the pen names Dr. Seuss, Theo LeSieg and, in one case, Rosetta Stone.^[2]

He published 46 children's books, which were often characterized by imaginative characters, rhyme, and frequent use of trisyllabic meter. His most celebrated books include the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Horton Hatches the Egg, Horton Hears a Who!, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. Numerous adaptations of his work have been created, including 11 television specials, four feature films, a Broadway musical and four television series. He won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958 for Horton Hatches the Egg and again in 1961 for And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street.

Geisel also worked as an illustrator for advertising campaigns, most notably for Flit and Standard Oil, and as a political cartoonist for PM, a New York City newspaper. During World War II, he worked in an animation department of the U.S Army, where he wrote Design for Death, a film that later won the 1947 Academy Award for Documentary Feature.

Geisel's birthday, March 2, has been adopted as the annual date for National Read Across America Day, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Seuss

Enjoy the climb!

“Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.”
~Harold B. Melchart



Affect the quality of your day!

"It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, 
or to carve a statue, 
and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium 
through which we look, which morally we can do. 
To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts."

~ Henry David Thoreau

What are you thinking?

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dreams...nourish and protect them!

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.

- Woodrow Wilson

Begin Life Everyday!
