Quick Tuesday Post

A lot has been going on and I haven't had time to write...but I found this quote today from one of my favorite children's books and thought I would share. Enjoy!

Upon asking the Skin Horse what "real" is...

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"

“It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” -The Velveteen Rabbit

Children's book or not...this is great advice. I know there are a lot of people going through tough times right now...but remember this. Have a great Tuesday.
