Thank you for caring. That's very good advice. I'm going to challenge myself today to do just one thing around the house and hopefully that will give me the energy to do just one other thing. Instead of a 'To Do' list, I keep a 'Done' list. Whenever I accomplish something, even if it's minor, I write it on the 'Done' list. It sure can add up during a day. I'll work on that some more today.

"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."
