Listen to the Mustn'ts

Tonight The Hubs was reading short poems to my Little Buddy. The poem below caught my attention and I knew I had to share it with you all!
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me-
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.

-The Shel Silverstein (Where the Sidewalk Ends)
I know I am guilty of getting caught up the Mustn'ts, Don'ts, Shouldn'ts, Impossibles, Won'ts and Never Haves...but Anything can be!

Today I am grateful for:
The shortest trip in the history of Army Trips (Yay, hubs is home!)
The park!
Story time with my Little Buddy!
A most relaxing weekend!
Run Happy Peeps!

    Sales starts tomorrow 10/7 at 6AM. Not sure how fast the coupons sell? There are 25 to be sold through Spirit 105.3 radio station.

    I am hoping that I will be able to buy one or 2 before they are gone.. I mean heck that saves $50 on shoes or winter running gear..
