I Am Pooped

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! Thank goodness I'm not just a clam or a ham OR a dusty old jar of sour gooseberry jam! I am what I am! That's a great thing to be! If I say so myself, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!"

~Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!!

Don and I went to Kinsley's Kindergarten class. I read the Happy Birthday To You book by Dr. Seuss. I think the kids really got a kick out of it. I know I did! Don snapped these pictures while I was reading. Afterward the kids all sang happy birthday to me because today is my birthday, too. Dr. Seuss is my birthday twin! I Love it!

I had the best morning/afternoon with my oldest daughter Lauren. We started with hair appointments and then she treated me to a massage for my birthday followed by lunch at Cheddars. Thank You Ree!! I Love You!!

We are told that there can be no progress without humility. This idea is confusing to many at first, and it almost always encounters a stubborn resistance in us. "What!" we say, "am I supposed to be a submissive slave to my situation and accept everything that comes, however humiliating?"


True humility does not mean meek surrender to an ugly, destructive way of life. It means surrender to God's will, which is quite a different thing. Humility prepares us for the realization of God's will for us; it shows us the benefits we gain from doing away with self-will. We finally understand how this self-will has actually contributed to our distress.

The attitude of true humility confers dignity and grace on us, and strengthens us to take intelligent spiritual action in solving our problems.

‎"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God. . . . casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you. He giveth grace to the humble." (1st Peter)

(John 13: 1-17) If you live with the mindset of "you before me" you will be blessed.
