I loved my Teddy Bear. By the time that I was older, he lost one eye, the tiny plastic nose had been stitched back on countless times, the stuffing was coming out of one paw - but, oh, how I loved that Teddy Bear. Nice to know he's "real."<BR/><BR/>Glad to meet you!Aletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605214202876973830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610135109623037891.post-24679304823056676562008-12-22T08:50:00.000-05:002008-12-22T08:50:00.000-05:00I just read this book to Alex the other day. :) I ...I just read this book to Alex the other day. :) <BR/>I hear what you're saying about being real too. I would never try to make things sound better than they are. BUT...I have a rule for myself. If I post something negative, I have to find a way to spin it to the positive side. That's the way I do things in real life so that's how I blog them too. <BR/>P.s. I'm getting GREAT sleep with my boy in his new bed.

It is refreshing to read the blogs of people that you have come to know, and realize...no remember... that everyone has some kind of turmoil within, often much like our own. It does soften my shell a bit more each day!<BR/><BR/>The Velveteen Rabbit is such a wonderful story. I didn't know it as a child. It wasn't until my niece was born that I read it. Such a wonderful lesson!Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08671821845846473604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610135109623037891.post-50155286233147525662008-12-20T23:43:00.000-05:002008-12-20T23:43:00.000-05:00It's so funny you write about this I've been think...It's so funny you write about this I've been thinking about this same subject for some time. It's great to write and feel the release that comes along with that, it's like the calm that my life so needs.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for bringing up that book, that was one of my favorites as a child.

I feel like I am real and don't sugar coat things on my blog because it's important to me that I'm capturing my real life and not fictionalizing it. I don't know that everyone else feels that way, but being honest on mine has helped me become more comfortable with who I really am.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032420498045893374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610135109623037891.post-79508081154065027412008-12-20T21:13:00.000-05:002008-12-20T21:13:00.000-05:00Boy, does that bring back memories.
