Did I ever tell you How Lucky You Are?

When you are feeling a bit down on your luck - Look to Dr Seuss for some down to earth advice.
Suitable for ages 0-100+.

Just tell yourself, Duckie, you're really quite lucky! Some people are much more....oh, ever so much more... oh, muchly much-much more unlucky than you!

It's a troublesome world. All the people who're in it, are troubled with troubles almost every minute. You ought to be thankful, a whole heaping lot, for the places and people you're lucky you're not!

Think they work you too hard...? Think of poor Ali Sard! He has to mow grass in his uncles backyard and it's quick growing grass and it grows as he mows it. The faster he mows it the faster he grows it. And all that his stingy old uncle will pay for shoving that mower around in the hay is the piffulous pay of two Dooklas a day. And Ali can't live on such piffulous pay!
So....
He has to paint flagpoles on Sundays in Grooz. How luck you are you don't live in his shoes!

And poor Mr. Potter, T crosser, I-dotter. He has to cross t's and he has to dot i's in an I and T factory out in Van Nuys!

And you're so, so, So lucky you're not a left sock, left behind by mistake in the Kaverns of Krock!

Thank goodness for all of the things you are not! Thank goodness you're not something someone forgot, and left all alone in some punkerish place like a rusty tin coat hanger in space
That's why I say, "Duckie! Don't grumble! Don't stew! Some critters are much -much, oh, ever so much-much, so muchly much-much more unlucky than you!"
