'Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday and all is well'.

That's a quote that my dear Mum used to tell us. It was probably not hers originally however.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the things you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

I love Dr Seuss - so clever in getting across real life issues in an amusing way.

One of my favourites is from Dr Seuss: 'All alone whether you like it or not. Alone is something you'll be quite a lot'.

Man , be true to thine own self...and lie like hell to everyone else.

Never stand if you can sit down, and never sit, if you can lie down.

Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.
