I adore Mae West's quote: "You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." I always have. But it's Dr. Seuss saying: “Oh the places you’ll go! There is fun to be done! ...” that pulls my heart strings. My daughter received the book from dear friends for high school graduation. She died shortly thereafter in a car accident so Dr.Seuss and his wisdom is close to my heart. I think Mae and Dr. Seuss were both talking to Britt! 🙂
Tammilee
Cathi, I am so sorry for your loss!

I love the quote from Helen Keller. She's right you need to make life and adventure otherwise you're just surviving and not living.
