This week's Quote Theme: Acceptance!
Another life's lessons that I have been slow to pick up on! ;-)__________
“My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.”
Michael J. Fox

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...
“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.”
Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit

Wishing you a most BEAUTIFUL day, wherever this may find you!

I like the rabbit better than the Fox ;-) but seriously always liked The Velveteen Rabbit story and I remember an animation with music so wonderful George Winston on the soundtrack....and I also like the Teen Wolf, the hoverboard in Back to the Future. Thank you for posting :-)
