If you never did, you should.
These things are fun, and fun is good. – Dr. Seuss
I just began reading an early book of poetry written by Rosemerry, and she starts it with enthusiastic encouragement from Dr. Seuss. It is an invitation to say “Yes!” and I accept it with gusto.
Yes to everything. Yes to today. Yes to the heat. Yes to the pleasant and unpleasant. Yes to thriving plants and to shriveled ones as well. Yes to the wet green grass, yes to the laundry asking to be taken care of.
It has taken me many trips around the Sun to learn how to say yes. Yes to this and to that. I sense resistance to yes in friends and I want to grab them and invite them into a world of yes. You are free, free to say yes.
Today is presenting so many adventures and now if only I can relax and enjoy the fun of it all. Fun is good. I want to welcome the fun and neither grasp or cling to it. Not try to make it go on and on. Just say yes to right now.
I say yes to living outside the box. I say yes to the wild freedom of no longer being in the cage my culture prefers I live in. I say yes as I escape the clutches of all those who would control how I am to meet the world.
Today is a good day and it has hardly begun. It has already been brimming with fun. Yes!
