"Its Not Easy Being Green"
By: Jim Henson
"Its not that easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves,
When I think it might be nicer being red, or yellow, or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over,
Cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles on the water,
or stars in the sky
But green is the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly like
And green can be big like an ocean
Or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be,
It could make you wonder why.
But why wonder, why wonder?
I am green, and it'll do fine
And I think it's what I want to be"

I bought this book"It's not easy being green" a couple of days ago and I absolutly love it. Throughout it are quotes from different muppet characters and by Jim Henson. Its uplifting, funny and cute. This book helps to take away the seriousness of life, even if it is for a few minutes. I mean wouldn't be awesome to live in Fraggle Rock? This book helps you do that everytime you pick it up.

Sounds great. I once had a book called "How to be Happy, Dammit!" and it was the same kind of thing. Very fun, but with serious undertones. Wish I could show you, but I gave it to a friend who was struggling a couple of years ago.
I'm about to call you and see if you want to go to the Great Canadian Bagel with me... :)

Hope things are well with you!
