2010 Graduation #3
Yesterday's graduation was forced indoors because of the weather. We have been having some wicked storms and I don't think the decision to move inside was a shock to anyone.
I'm happy to report that I not only got a Dr. Seuss quote, I practically got a Dr. Seuss speech. A student speaker sprinkled some of his most famous quotes sporadically throughout her entire speech.
Quite frankly this made up for the other two graduations where Seuss wisdom was lacking.
My favorite?
"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You"
Of course, it wouldn't be graduation season if someone didn't quote Henry Thoreau--too wonderful not to mention.
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
So I ask you my blogger buddies...are you authentic? Are you truer than true. Are you living the life which you have imagined?

I think I'm still imagining what makes me "me." Hopefully, I'll get to that truer than true stage soon :)
I'm glad you finally got your Seuss!!
And I'm not sure I'm living the life I imagine but I do feel authentic!
