“What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. “Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?” “Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.” “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 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.”

Tela is already prepared for the cold season. I especially like her pink cap and the hood. We will need this tomorrow too, temperatures will range from 34 to 54 maximum. It will be sunny but the coldest day so far.
I'm glad your therapy went so well. That's so encouraging, isn't it?
Happy Sunday, Jacki!

Tela, I do not think I have ever heard this name before. How do you come up with the names usually? I know some are relatives. She is just great. :-)

Thanks Elenor, I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday with your family and are enjoying the memories today. Yes, I am looking forward to my shoulder improving.

Thanks,John. Again, it was a late night project and when done I couldn't think of a name, but I decided there must be a Tela somewhere? Thanks for noticing. ;o)
