“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. Because
once you are real you
can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” ~ Margery
Williams
Bianco, The Velveteen Rabbit
Good
Morning!
When I opened my
morning email and found this quote, I felt
like I was being transported back in time.
I read The
Velveteen Rabbit as
a little girl (the Easter bunny left it in my basket), and I loved the
passage
quoted above.
Donna also
shared that a close friend cross-stitched this
quote for her during a rough time.
She
wrote:
Each
morning I wake up, read it and remember that no matter what I start to
“think”
I may be….I am real because I am loved.
I think this is one of the most beautiful and ageless tales ever
written. I am blessed to have the family
and friends I do. Every wrinkle for
laughing and smiling and crying makes us beautiful and real because we
are
loved.
When we talk
about self-discovery and personal peace, we are
looking for that “real place.” We
long
to be centered and have a centered (and sane!) anchor within. We long to make decisions
from a peaceful and
rational place, instead of as a reaction to external pressure. But we don’t get to that
place
overnight. Like
today’s quote shares –
it takes a long time, but it is worth it.
All the little things cease to matter once we
are “real.”
Your Turn:
Take a
moment today to center yourself and be still.
Take ten deep breaths, counting to five as you
inhale, and then again to
five as you exhale. Remember
that everything
you face in life is bringing you nearer to that “real” place. Trust life.
Today’s Affirmation:
I
trust life.
And
as always, don't forget to
start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is
going to
happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And when ending
your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do
to
make today matter?
