The Gospel According to Winnie the Pooh

The Gospel According to Winnie the Pooh June 26, 2016

I’m generally a very upbeat guy. As such, “down days” can be a real kick in the pants.

As a kid, I grew up watching watching Winnie the Pooh and loved Tigger so much. I think I always related to his character: boundless energy, always on a “high”, never slowing down, and full of laughter. Tigger probably needed medicine for ADHD, but he didn’t get it. He would have been the teacher’s worst nightmare, but probably her secret favorite. I was that kid.
