Lesson 598: Life

Eloise has been thinking a lot about life.

Graduation season pulls one's thoughts that way.

No words are ever wasted at the Lamp Post,

and the written word holds a spot 

higher than the spoken ones.

If you were one of the 113 people who sent my girls 

a graduation card,

know that they were read

and reread a couple of times.

Here's what they look like

 all spread out on the picnic table.

How many ways can one say

congratulations?

Lots.

From the store bought

to the hand made,

 

each held the perfect words 

to wish my girls well in life.

Some of you knew that we really like Dr. Seuss,

 animals,

dogs in particular.

This one went with Ellen's graduation cap!

And a few were great reminders that life

doesn't have to be serious all of the time.

Allow the squirrel to summarize your sentiments:

In a nutshell--

find your happy and go live your life

in the best way you know how.

And if life involves a red scooter

and a cape--

good for you!

Out of all the cards,

this one was my favorite.

A short,

simple,

and easy to remember

words of life advice.

And when you are busy

reaching for that star,

know that you might lose your balance

and fall a few times.

Make Faith 

and 

Courage

your friends.

Find your team.

Find your passion.

Find your game.

Play fair 

and 

give it all you got.

Enjoy your weekend, Readers.

Eloise
