If you’d never been  born,  well then what would  you be? You might be a  fish! Or a toad in a tree! You  might be a doorknob!  Or  three baked potatoes! You  might be a bag full of  hard  green tomatoes." "Or worse than all  that…Why, you might be a  WASN’T! A Wasn’t has no  fun at all.  No, he doesn’t. A  Wasn’t just isn’t.  He just  isn’t present. But you…You  ARE YOU!  And, now isn’t  that pleasant!" "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!

“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”  ―  Dr. Seuss

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”  ―  John Lennon Happy happy birthday to my great grandmother who turns 90 today! In 90 years, she has learned to speak six languages, raised six children, worked as a nurse during World War II and afterwards when she  fled to the U.S., and most importantly, she is the matriarch of our family who we all love very much! She is one of the most beautiful people I know, and I think we can all agree, 90 years is an accomplishment  worth celebrating! Happy birthday Baba!(Alexis Smith)
