♥ DAILY LOVE TIP – Thursday September 29, 2011

Hello dear exploring ♥Peoples,

What’s your favourite Dr Seuss quote or saying or story……..Snuggle up somewhere and read one of the books with someone special or to your own Inner Child……….Share a memory it brings up for you…………What books or stories or authors were your favourite when you were a young kid …….if you still have the book read it or bits of it to someone or have them read it to you…….

♥MIRRORING TOPIC: share what stood out for you about your favourite author from childhood♥ What did/do you find special about it♥  

I didn’t actually have any experience of Dr Seuss when I was a kid – As an adult there are  two associations that stand out particularly………… The first one I have always associated “Oh the Places You’ll Go……..” with my daughter ♥Zoe….. and the second one is from the movie ‘I Am Sam’ which is a favourite movie of mine………..[which incidentally has lots of interesting stuff around parenting and ♥LOVE and family]…….in the part where Sam and his daughter Lucy are reading from the story “Green Eggs and Ham”.

So my dare to you on this fine day is to be silly and read the story out loud with an audience!!……

The story goes that after writing The Cat in the Hat in 1955 using only 223 words, Dr Seuss bet his publisher that he could write a book using only 50 words. Seuss collected on the wager in 1960 with the publication of “Green Eggs and Ham”…….. Here are the 50 distinct words used in the book:

Todays’ Addition to Shelton’s list of ♥favourite things is……his favourite story from childhood which is The Hardy Boys…..he loved how they solved mysteries and they had adventures and they got to take risks…….

Remember one of the reasons that we are collecting information about our partner’s (or people special to us) favourites things is because knowing what is important to them gives you lots of data to choose from when you are thinking of things to do for them to make them feel  special and loved and cared for. If you don’t know their likes and dislikes it is very hard to “hit the target” for them.

Today is your Day!…..So get on your way…….. Love SUSIE♥

Are you smiling♥…..…
Look into this little ♥darling’s eyes and see if you can stop yourself smiling…..
Smiles relieve stress…..Smiles are good for us :O)
Your body immediately releases endorphins when you smile, even when you force it.
This sudden change in mood can help you feel better and reduce stress.
