“Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you! Shout loud, “I am lucky to be what I am! Thank goodness I’m not just a clam or a ham or a dusty old jar of sour gooseberry jam! I am what I am! That’s a great thing to be! If I say so myself, “Happy Birthday to Me!””
– Happy Birthday to You, by Dr. Seuss (Originally published in 1959)

It’s my birthday! It’s my birthday! But please, avoid eye contact with me, or I’ll turn red and run. It’s my birthday! It’s my birthday!

You know the significance of today, right? 2012 is a leap year and February gets an extra day. So go on – leap! Jump into some fun! Continue reading “Project 366: Day 60”
