Within the pages of this book is a lesson from Pooh and a lesson from very young children everywhere. 

Sometimes you just have to let yourself be.   

Piglet questioned the use of the word “shillings” in one of the poems from Pooh’s stuffing filled head. 

“They wanted to come in after the pounds,” explained Pooh, “so I let them.  It is the best way to write poetry, letting things come.”

It is the best way to write poetry and the best way to unwind.  

You don’t always have to be doing something productive. 

Set aside your to-do list.

Find a Thoughtful Spot to sit and just think.

Wish your friends a very happy Thursday – just because.

Drop sticks off one side of the bridge and see which comes out the other side first.  

Enjoy a bit of honey, and then go visit a friend. 

And then enjoy another bit of honey with your friend.
