Will and I went to see the Columbus Children's Theater's production of
Seussical the Musical.
It was excellent.
This is a picture of Will at intermission holding the dandelion he picked in the parking lot on the way in. It was kind of fitting because the story line heavily featured Horton the Elephant who spends a lot of time holding a clover flower on which a whole buch of Whos live.
There's a great song in the musical that's been stuck in my head all week:
(I got the lyrics from the internet; I didn't memorize them at the show)
When the news is all bad
When you're sour and blue
When you start to get mad
You should do what I do-
Tell yourself how lucky you are
When your life's going wrong
When the fates are unkind
When you're limping along
And get kicked from behind
Tell yourself how lucky you are
Why decry a cloudy sky
An empty purse
A crazy universe?
My philosophy is simply
Things could be worse!
So be happy you're here
Think of life as a thrill
And if worse comes to worse
(As we all know it will)
Thank your lucky star
You've gotten this far
Tell yourself how lucky you are!
A nice lesson from Dr. Seuss
