Oh The Places You'll Go!


Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
 any direction you choose.
You're on your own.  And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.

excerpt from "Oh, The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss, which every adult should be required to read at the start of each new decade of their life

And with my feet in THESE shoes, I am thinking that anything is possible.  Shoes that are as awesome as these must have special powers.

They put a spring in my step

Adventure is calling, and the shoes say GO! Who am I to argue with shoes like these?

    Well that just cheered me up, and left a good thought in my brain right before going to sleep! I'll blame it on the shoes, but also on Dr. Seuss and you, a formidable combination!!!

    Oh, the shoes, the shoes! Dr. Seuss was a genius. I love the neon pink and those red pants with those magic shoes. They are the perfect vehicle for a happy foot passenger.

      If you are referring to the travelling yellow skirt, it is headed to the Fashionable Bureaucrat after me, and then a couple of other bloggers in Canada, then over to Curtise in the UK so its dance card is full for the next little while ;)
