Today is A. A. Milne’s birthday, otherwise known as Pooh Day. Pooh had a lot of wisdom to impart. Here are a few bits of wisdom Pooh laid down for us:

On Love & Friendship

“If you live to be a hundred, I hope I live to be a hundred minus one day, so that I never have to live a day without you.” ~ Winnie the Pooh

“A hug is always the right size.” ~ Winnie the Pooh

“Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So, today is my new favorite day.” ~ Winnie the Pooh

“If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever.” ~Winnie the Pooh

“The most important thing is, even when we’re apart…I’ll always be with you…” ~ Winnie the Pooh

“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.” ~ Winnie the Pooh

“‘We’ll be friends forever, won’t we, Pooh?’ asked Piglet. ‘Even longer,’ Pooh answered.”

“How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”~ Winnie the Pooh

“I’m never afraid with you.” ~ Winnie the Pooh

On Loving Yourself

“The things that make me different are the things that make me, me.” ~Piglet

“Promise me you’ll always remember: you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” ~ Christopher Robin

On Happiness

“It never hurts to keep looking for sunshine.” ~Eeyore

One for Cousin Camp

“We didn’t realize we were making memories. We just knew we were having fun.”

And One Final Tidbit

“As soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was going to happen.” ~Winnie the Pooh

Go out today and be adventurous! Love generously, keep looking for sunshine, and remember how lucky you are.
