"Un-Slumping"

Theodor Seuss Geisel (1924-1991) is best known as the author of children’s books under his pen name, “Dr. Seuss.”  I remember reading his books to my children:  Green Eggs and Ham, Oh, The Places You’ll Go, The Cat in the Hat, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, etc. 

In Oh, The Places You’ll Go, Dr. Seuss wrote of the journey of life—it wonders, expectations, hopes, mysteries, issues, defeats, and trials.  It is worth reading wherever you may find yourself on your life’s journey.   

It isn’t just sports people who get into a slump.  We all pass that way on occasion.  Are you in a slump and need “Un-Slumbing?”  I suggest you read Dr. Seuss.

“Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

Except when you don’t.

Because, sometimes, you won’t.

I’m sorry to say so but, sadly, it’s true that

Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you.

You can get all hung up in a prickle-ly perch.

And your gang will fly on.  You’ll be left in a Lurch.

You’ll come down from the Lurch with an 

unpleasant bump.  And the chances are, then, 

that you’ll be in a Slump.

And when you’re in a Slump, you’re not in for 

much fun.

Un-Slumping yourself is not easily done.”

“Un-Slumping yourself is not easily done,” and you may need others to give you a hand.  The good news is that Un-Slumping can happen for you.
