Because I’m on vacation this week, I’ve decided to publish posts from the two-week test pilot of Beyond Blue back in October of 2006<\/a>, two months before its initial launch in December 2006<\/a>. We’ve come a long way!<\/em>
\nMy daughter’s bedtime stories, like everything else in my life, have become part of my own therapy. ??Here’s this week’s collection:
\n??
\nThe Little Engine That Could<\/a> by Watty Piper: “Puff, puff, chug, chug, went the Little Blue Engine. ‘I think I can–I think I can–I think I can–I think I can . . .'” ??
\nI Like Myself<\/a> by Karen Beaumont: “I like myself! I’m glad I’m me. There’s no one else I’d rather be.”
\nOh, the Places You’ll Go<\/a> by Dr. Seuss: “You’ll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You’ll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act.” ??
\nAnd All the Way to God<\/a> by Kate and Michael Giuliano: “That’s as far as love can go!”
