“I say, when life gives you a lemon, wing it right back and add some lemons of your own!"

“I learned about what I love. Imagination, deep friendship, animals, family, the natural world, ideas and ideals … and silliness.”

~ Bill Watterson

Through his utterly hilarious, profound comics, Watterson, gives us courage. Courage to face life and see the humor in all things life. He appeals to the innocent child within and implores us to see life differently and prioritize the good things. He knows that adults ‘just act like they know where they’re going’. And, of course, life will hit you hard in the face and then knock you down and pick you up only to push you trembling down again! And while we’re at it, how about some ‘funny’?

  1. Dealing with life, one ‘so what’ at a time

2. Happiness maybe contagious but a bad mood is like the relay stick. Pass it on. Or not ;)

3. Mothers know the best!

4. Sometimes, just leave. From places, people and feelings that make you uncomfortable. Just leave. Because, why not?

5. I day dream of petting a cat and secretly going on ‘Save the World’ missions

6. Stick to your beliefs and purpose and keep your best friends close!

That’s all for now.

“If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I’ll bet they’d live a lot differently.” ~ Bill Watterson

Remember to look at the stars!
