Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.

Did you ever fly a kite in bed? Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head? Did you ever milk this kind of cow? Well, we can do it. We know how. If you never did, you should. These things are fun and fun is good.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.
Dr. Seuss
Image
You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed. You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead. Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest. Except when you don't. Because, sometimes, you won't.
Dr. Seuss

When the world says, Give up, Hope whispers, Try it one more time.You have more potential than you believe you do.Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened.

Remember me and smile, for it's better to forget than to remember me and cry.
