The Dr. Seuss Quote for Today - You'll Miss the Best Things . . .

 

The Dr. Seuss Quote for today . . . "You'll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut!" Wow! This short saying has some powerful truth in it! When I think about missing the "best things" by "keeping my eyes shut" I think about  missing out by not using the gifts and talents which are unique to each of us because we may think we are, "not enough". Far too many of us think we do not have enough to offer, or are not "enough" as we are, but the truth is we are each unique and needed just as we are!

Maybe you - or someone you love - is able to make amazing music playing an instrument, or by singing. Or, maybe they are able to fix things and make them work. Or maybe they are someone who can cook the most tasty things. Or maybe they know just the right things to say to brighten someone else's day. There are so many different ways to open our eyes and be part of the "best things"! So, jump in, keep your eyes open and in doing so you will make our world a better place!

I think this also has application as it relates to us as grandmas . . . keep our eyes open! Don't miss the joys of being "grandma"! Love your grandchildren, love them well! Greet them with hugs, smiles and I love yous' every time you see them. Take advantage of the time you have with them so they grow up knowing you loved them forever and for always! Treasure your grandchildren and most importantly, keep your eyes open so you are able to help them see how amazing they each are! Don't miss the best things!!!

Be sure to point these things out to your grandchildren, too! Help them think of ways to use the things which make them unique, so they are able to "jump in, keep their eyes open", care about others and make the world a better place!
