The Wisdom of Kermit

Yesterday I shared with the you the ramblings of a dog.  Today I want to let you in on the wisdom of a frog- Kermit the Frog, that is!  All of the following quotes are from his book, Before You Leap- A Frog's-Eye View of Life's Greatest Lessons (Meredith Books, 2006).  I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.

• "Dreams are how we figure out where we want to go.  Life is how we get there."
• "Every journey begins with a single hop."
• "Only love can make you rich."
• "Life is great.  But without bad times we wouldn't know the difference."
• "Always be happy.  When people are in a bad mood the last thing they want to do is hang around with happy people."
• "You are what you eat, which I guess makes me part mosquito."
• "It's not easy being green, but green is what I want to be.  Be what you want to be."
• "Love is a gift.  Don't ask for the receipt!"
• "Friends.  So much more than an old TV show."
• "Time's fun when you're having flies!"
• "Success is believing in yourself, then convincing everyone else that you're right."
• "Be your own boss.  Give yourself the day off."
• "When you're young at heart, the rest of you is sure to follow along."
• "A best friend is someone who makes you laugh, even when the jokes aren't funny."
• "Follow your dream.  I did, and look what I've done so far..."

Pretty wise stuff from a frog who's in love with a pig, huh?  Let me know which of these nuggets is your favorite.  Have a blessed day, and keep dreaming.  "Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection- the lovers, the dreamers...and me!"
