I have always meant to pick up a copy of this book – Oh, the Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss. It has always been my favorite one in the series and has shown up at many important events in my life – for instance, it was read at my high school graduation.<\/p>\n

Today I stopped into a bookstore in Hoboken where I finally picked up the book. It was sitting on a table, as if it were waiting just for me. After bringing it back to the apartment, I opened the cover to find a note written to the original recipient:<\/p>\n

“May all your dreams come true as you continue on your intellectual journey.”<\/p>\n

It was given to a girl as a high school graduation gift and will now be a wonderful addition to this trip!<\/p>\n

You’ll get mixed up, of course,
\nas you already know.
\nYou’ll get mixed up
\nwith many strange birds as you go.
\nSo be sure when you step.
\nStep with care and great tact
\nand remember that Life’s
\na Great Balancing Act.
\nJust never forget to be dexterous and deft.
\nAnd never<\/em> mix up your right foot with your left.<\/p>\n
