I don't know who the author of the first one is, but, I like it. I think Dr. Suess said a lot of wise and witty things and used wonderful words. I may be biased because he is my hero and often spoke for how I felt as a kid. I aspire to write the kind of poetry he did, limited success...lol

I like Dr Seuss too and I have found much comfort in his words
I like Eric Carle too. I even have a big green caterpillar that I made for my early childhood reading class. I have days where I feel like a very hungry caterpillar

Dr. Seuss was indeed wise.

As to the first item, I love this. We cannot control what happens in our world, nor can we change the past. We can, however, control our reactions. And that begins with our thoughts. I’ve heard the same general thing stated thusly: all of life is a conversation, and the way to begin to change our lives is to change the conversation we have with ourselves.
