Last week, my wife bought a big sticker pack for my son to use to decorate his school binders with. They weren't the usual crappy sticker sheet that you would get at the store with My Little Pony or Transformers characters on them, but rather the kind of stickers people put on their car windows, laptops, or water bottles. They were outdoors-themed, which is one of my favorite things, so when the kid was done with the stickers for his binders, I leafed through them.
There were several stickers that appealed to me, and a couple that I just had to use. Up until now, my water cup has been plain black, but these stickers motivated me to be one of those people with stickers all over their bottle instead. I figured a couple of those stickers might be humorous to share with you. I'm obviously a sucker for this kind of thing. Here's sticker number one:
That's right. It was a sticker with "Oh, the places you'll go." It's been a long time since I was so moved by the Burning Man video of the Dr. Seuss book, but ever since that day, it's kind of been my inspiration. Not only that, but they had this one too:
This one is actually a quote attributed to John Muir, but it sounds so similar to the last line of Oh, the Place You'll Go that I can't help but gravitate to it. I first saw it on a sign in Jackson Hole back in 2015. It's like the outdoorsy equivalent of "Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way." So, of course I had to also put that sticker onto my cup.
Uh, just wanted to share that, I guess.
