Thursday 26th July - Thought For Today

“It doesn’t happen all at once.” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t often happen 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 the 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.” - Quote from The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams.

    You can probably guess that this story has been significant in my life.

    My husband and I both call each other “Bunny” because of this story. I wrote a post or two about it before.
