Living Life by the Seat of Your Pants, a la Dr. Seuss

So, my friend Scott's wife said that my Blog background reminds her of Dr. Seuss...this one's for you Kresta!

Living Life by the Seat of Your Pants (ala Dr. Seuss)

If you live life by the seat of your pants,
Every day you take a chance.

Your world is not what you thought it would be,
But if it was otherwise, would you be happy?

And even though you’ve loved and lost,
Remember that experience comes with a cost.

When no one calls you on the phone,
You go to dinner all alone.

Some people say you’re really brave,
You’re not brave, it’s company you crave.

You may not have a lot of friends,
But the friends you have, you’ll have til the end.

Every day as you leave for work,
Be thankful you don’t work for a jerk.

Give blessings if you know how to read,
It was your parents and teachers who planted that seed.

Sometimes all you want to do is dance and sing,
At other times you just want to swing.

Especially when you’re feeling sad,
Just remember, life is not so bad.

When you wonder if there’s more,
Unless you search, you’ll never be sure.

When you feel like sleeping all day,
Get up. Go outside, and play.

Even when you’re not sure and steady,
Life always changes, so just get ready.

Always be grateful for what you’ve got,
There are so many others who haven’t got a lot.

When you get down and out,
Remember what life is all about.

Take some time to live it up,
Always keep your chin to up.

And when all is said and done,
Just remember where you come from.

When your life is full of no’s and can’ts,
Just take some time...

                                                  and Live Life by the Seat of Your Pants.
