From one of my favorites, Dr Seuss

I am a BIG fan of Dr Seuss. I think I always have been. As a little girl, I used to LOVE to read. My mom would buy me books with cassettes that had music and someone reading the story so I could read along with the tape. (Boy, am I dating myself with the tape thing or what?!?!)

Anyway, I had all kinds of favorite books, but one of my favorite authors hands down has and continues to be Dr Seuss. His book, "Oh! The Places You'll Go" is one of my fav's!

Anyway, I read this quote and thought it so true!


“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." ~Dr. Seuss


I think it speaks so much to the essence of unconditional love. Regardless the crazy shin-na-ni-gins that come out of our lives sometimes, those who truly matter can see beyond it and know our core is solid. They will love us despite. They will believe in who we are no matter what.

For me, this is personal because I am so dynamic. I am often tough to love. More times than not, I make no sense. Because I am passionate, I am here, there & everywhere at one time and wonder why those around me can't keep up. I am stubborn and sometimes my first response is to argue. I have strong convictions that seem immovable. I am loud and opinionated. I don't have a reputation for being very tolerant much less patient. I am often very insensitive which makes me a horrible friend. The list of my flaws as a "good" human being go on and on.

HOWEVER, that is just the outside...the facade. There is so much more to me.
(This is where my initial instinct is to list the traits and examples that contradict the above mentioned, but for whatever reason, I don't feel I need to do that.)

The point of all this is that despite these flaws, those who matter don't mind and those that mind don't matter. I feel blessed to be surrounded by so many that just don't mind! *SHE SMILES*

Have a great weekend!!
